"White Crow" is het nieuwe vierde album van Ledfoot aka Tim Scott McConnell

Van de Amerikaanse zanger/singersongwriter/gitarist Tim Scott McConnell is “White Crow” zijn vierde album onder de noemer Ledfoot. McConnell is al actief sinds de jaren 70 als solo-artiest en als lid van diverse formaties. In de jaren 80 genoot hij vooral bekendheid als lid van The Rockats en in de jaren 90 met de band The Havalinas. In die laatste hoedanigheid tourde McConnell o.a. als voorprogramma van Bob Dylan tijdens zijn “No Mercy”-tour in Engeland en Frankrijk. Als componist schreef hij vele songs voor uiteenlopende acts van TNT (rock) tot Sheena Easton (pop). Belangrijkste wapenfeit is dat hij de track “High Hopes” schreef van het gelijknamige album van Bruce Springsteen uit 2014. In 2007 verscheen zijn debuut-album “The Devil’s Songbook” (Blue Mood/Grappa) onder de naam Ledfoot; “I put together the different techniques from over 30 years of playing, combined a 12-string guitar with steel fingerpicks, a brass slide, open-tuning, very heavy strings and a stomp box, mixing this with a dark lyrical and melodic sense”. Zijn nieuwe album heet “White Crow” en net als tijdens de release van zijn derde album “Gothic Blues” uit 2011, gaat Ledfoot ter promotie begin volgend jaar weer de Europese podia onveilig maken.


We are extremely proud to present the new 4th solo-album “White Crow” by LEDFOOT. Once again, we ́re diving into this dark gothic blues world where most things go sincerely wrong, but where the music somehow sets you free. As always with his 12-string guitar fitted with extremely heavy strings, played with a brass slide and steel finger picks, kicking his stomp box!
“Sometimes it’s best to just keep it simple and state the facts... There’s a black crow I follow every night, with a pack of wolves a running by my side. Through a darkness as dark as any mind, with a full moon hanging dead up in the sky. There’s no undoing all that I’ve done. There’s no forgiving this wayward son”.
LEDFOOT aka Tim Scott McConnell is an American singer-songwriter and 12-string guitarist. He has been touring and releasing music since the late 1970’s as a solo artist and as a member of The Rockats in the early 1980’s and The Havalinas in the early 1990’s, at which time Bob Dylan personally asked Tim if the band would open for him on the “Oh Mercy”-tour of France and England. As a songwriter, Tim has written for artists as varied as TNT to Sheena Easton. In 2014, Bruce Springsteen released his album “High Hopes”, from which the title track was written by Tim. LEDFOOT came into existence in 2006, when Tim put together the different techniques from over 30 years of playing and combined a 12-string guitar with steel fingerpicks, a brass slide, open-tunings, very heavy strings and a stomp box. Mixing this with a dark lyrical and melodic sense, he dubbed it ‘Gothic Blues’. Since than Ledfoot has released 3 albums and have toured England, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands and the US.
