Homeland

Piano powerhouse Henry Butler brings it down home in an album of funk-infused R&B with a shot of blues on his second release for Basin Street Records. From "Ode to Fess" and "Some Iko" to "Henry's Boogie" and "I Stand Accused," Henry goes back to his roots to deliver a dynamic, danceable CD. Grammy Award winners Dave Pirner (Soul Asylum) and Trina Shoemaker (Sheryl Crow) lend their respective talents to the producer and mix engineer teams.
