(hennemusic) Last year, Joe Walsh released "Analog Man," his first solo album in 20 years. Now, the guitarist tells Billboard that he's already begun work on a new project.

"I'll say, loosely, I've started a blues album," says Walsh of the record that mixes originals with "real obscure R&B and blues songs. Half of it is original, and half of it's old Howlin' Wolf or John Lee Hooker.

"I told everybody to bring a song in and everybody did, be it an old blues song or some idea. We went through some old Stax records from, like, the Otis Redding days, Sam & Dave stuff that were just albums tracks, and did our version of a whole bunch of stuff."

Walsh has teamed up with Dr. John, Robert Randolph, Keb' Mo', drummer Jim Keltner, keyboardist Mike Finnigan and Jeff Beck bassist Tal Wilkenfeld for the sessions. more on this story
