LONDON— Andy Fairweather Low is the Invisible Bluesman.

‍

His career has to an extent been defined by early pop successes, but every single one of Andy Fairweather Low’s performances has always been shaped by his blues, gospel and soul influences.

‍

It is ironic that although he first burst onto the scene in Britain in 1967 with a UK top twenty hit record of Gin House Blues which was inspired by Bessie Smith’s 1928 classic recording, the many hits he has enjoyed since then from his days fronting Amen Corner have gradually hidden his undeniable credentials as a great bluesman.  However, this extraordinary talent hasn’t escaped the notice of some of the world’s finest artists who have drawn on his deep blue skills as a guitarist and singer.

‍

Eric Clapton of course leads an incredibly impressive list of Andy’s discerning employers and collaborators which includes, BB King, Benmont Tench, Bill Wyman, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, Charlie Watts, Chris Barber, Chris Rea, Clarence ‘Gatemouth’ Brown, Dave Edmunds, David Crosby, David Gilmour, David Sanborn, Donald ‘Duck’ Dunn, Edie Brickell, Elton John, Emmylou Harris, Garth Hudson, George Harrison, Georgie Fame, Gerry Rafferty, Jackson Browne, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Joe Cocker, Joe Satriani, John Mayall, Kate Bush, Levon Helm, Linda Ronstadt, Lonnie Donegan, Mary J. Blige, Mick Hucknall, Otis Rush, Paul Weller, Paul Young, Pete Townshend, Phil Collins, Richard and Linda Thompson, Rick Danko, Ringo Starr, Roger Waters, Ronnie Lane, Sheryl Crow, Steve Gadd, Steve Winwood, Stevie Nicks, The Impressions, The Who, Van Morrison, Warren Zevon, and hundreds more.

‍

Andy has largely missed the recognition he deserves in the blues world and that is probably because up until now, he has never released a blues album.  

‍

So, meet Andy Fairweather Low-down now that curtains have been opened on the Invisible Bluesman.

‍

The album features material recorded since he left Eric Clapton’s band.  The tracks have been chosen to highlight Andy’s unique voice and his mastery of the blues guitar.

‍

Among the key players with him are Dave Bronze or Ian Jennings on bass, Chris Stainton or Richard Milner on keyboards and Paul Beavis or Henry Spinetti on drums.

‍

A radio single of Andy’s own version of Gin House Blues is being released from the album.  Aside from his incredible voice, the guitar solo he pulls off on this killer track is staggeringly good and will surely secure his place among the pantheon of contemporary blues artists.

‍

The Invisible Blues Man will be available as a 12” Vinyl LP and on all major streaming platforms February 7th. Fairweather Low will be touring extensively throughout the UK beginning the 6th of February.
