Forget his cane! Hugh Laurie is all about his axe!!!
Sources report that Hugh recently played a private blues show at a small bar in New Orleans for a very select audience.
The show was to launch the beginning of Hugh’s promotional tour for his debut album, Let Them Talk, which is out in May. In announcing his first solo musical venture, Hugh told sources:
“I was not born in Alabama in the 1890s. I’ve never eaten grits, cropped a share, or ridden a boxcar. I am a white, middle-class Englishman, openly trespassing on the music and myth of the American south. If that weren’t bad enough, I’m also an actor – one of those pampered ninnies who can’t find his way through an airport without a babysitter.”
Ha! But even still, he makes great music! We loved to see him jam all the times he played with Band from TV! Plus, he is a self-taught musician, so he gets extra points for that!
Are any of U looking forward to his first album?
