"I like things to be a little blue, but with a beat. There's still optimism but it can bring a tear to you as well," says Heath Fogg about first proper album, Sun On Shade. The Alabama Shakes guitarist is busy balancing sadness, sunshine and hard-won wisdom on his first project since the rock 'n' soul group hung it up. The roster of enlisted guests includes Sam Doores (Deslondes), Shonna Tucker (Drive-By Truckers), and former Shakes cohort Lloyd Buchanan. Vinyl includes download code.
