The Estate Of Doug Fieger Releases 2nd Album Of Commemorative Series, 'Hankerings: A Tribute To Hank Williams'

The family of Doug Fieger, lead singer of The Knack is making available for a collection of recordings by the Fieger that have never before released in any format. 'Hankerings: A Tribute to Hank Williams' by Doug Fieger, was Fieger's dream - to release an album of Williams covers. Unfortunately that dream was never realized during his lifetime due to his battle with cancer (he died on Valentine’s Day, 2010)

"All of Doug's friends knew he had been recording these songs. But very few had ever heard them," explains Doug's sister, Beth Falkenstein. "After he died, everyone was asking me if I had found the tapes yet. They were all just so curious to hear them... and to hear his voice again."

Track Listing:

1. Hey, Good Lookin'
2. I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
3. Jambalaya (On the Bayou)
4. I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You)

For his first solo album in 14 years, Gregg Allman is paying tribute to blues legends such as Muddy Waters, B.B. King and Junior Wells. Titled 'Low Country Blues,' the LP was produced by T Bone Burnett and is expected on Jan. 18, 2011 via Rounder Records.

"When you have new record it always feels different," Allman said in a statement. "It's been too long. I guess I was just born with a lot of gypsy in my soul."

The release is named for the coastal region of Georgia where Allman lives. The album was recorded at Burnett's Village Recorder studio in Los Angeles and includes pianist Dr. John, guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, bassist Dennis Crouch and drummer Jay Bellerose.
