Ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro has teamed with Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood for the new album Blues Experience, and he tells ABC Audio he couldn't pass up the opportunity to embrace the blues with the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer.
"You know, he's one of my favorite drummers," Jake says. "He kind of just pioneered that style," noting that early Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green was a blues band. He adds, "I mean, who better to kind of explore this genre of music than with him?"
Blues Experience will be released Friday. It is available for preorder now.
