Fleetwood Mac’s Mick Fleetwood and ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro have released another song from their upcoming album, Blues Experience, which comes out Oct. 18.
The latest is a cover of the Procol Harum classic “Whiter Shade Of Pale.”
“This is a song I’ve always wanted to play… of course, the song recorded by Procol Harum was a world-renowned classic… with a melody so strong that it became a gift to us!” Mick shares. “And Jake totally commands the full need for dynamics and a passionate delivery. At last, I got to play and record this song!!!”
“This was a song that Mick suggested. Such an iconic piece of music,” Jake adds. “It truly plays like an anthem. And Mickʻs drumming makes the track feel amazing. I was just transported through his drum sounds.”
This is the second tune the pair has shared from the record, following their take on the blues classic “Rollin’ N Tumblin’.”
Blues Experience also has the two artists covering songs like Neil Young’s “Rockin’ In The Free World” and the Christine McVie-penned Fleetwood Mac track “Songbird,” with Mick also adding a spoken word version of the song. Jake penned one original song, “Kula Blues,” about the area in Maui where Mick lives.
Blues Experience is available for preorder now.
