Produced by eminent producers Garth Fundis and Gary Nicholson, New Shade Of Blue is testament to the breadth of artist/writer Kelley Hunt. There are compelling works written by Hunt, writing collaborations with Gary Nicholson, a Gospel-feel take on Jesse Winchester"s That"s What Makes You Strong, her own intense reading of Jim Lauderdale"s alt-country Why Do I Love You, a dramatic re-arrangement of Lennon/McCartney"s The Word and a raucous duet with Delbert McClinton on Deal With It. Joining Hunt are a list of a-list studio allstars including drummer Chad Cromwell, bassist Glenn Worf, Hammond B3 player Reese Winans, guitarists Colin Linden and Kenny Greenburg and more.
