The full story is at http://bluesguitarunleashed.com/bb-king-featured-on-steve-cropper-tribute-to-the-5-royals/.
As reported by The Tennessean at http://blogs.tennessean.com/tunein/2011/04/19/steve-cropper-records-tribute-to-the-5-royales, 'Dedicated' is Steve Cropper's full-length tribute to his favorite band, and is due out on July 5 on 429 Records.
Blues Guitar Unleashed owner, Griff Hamlin, decided to post the story, plus some additional content about The "5" Royals and Steve Cropper, as a way to continue educating readers on the guitar players that have shaped the modern blues sound.
Griff writes, "If you're not familiar with Steve Cropper, you should be. As well as being known as the guitarist in The Blues Brothers, he was in the Stax Records House Band, and Booker T. And The MG's. He's also played behind such greats as Otis Redding and Sam & Dave."
He continues, "Many blues guitarists today think that bands like The Rolling Stones and Stevie Ray Vaughan are 'old school.' What they don't realize is that there is even more history behind the blues that we hear today. And at a time when many of those artists from the first half of the 20th century are no longer with us, it's important to keep this type of information alive."
