Two of the three remaining Certified Guitar Players (an honor bestowed by Chet Atkins)–TOMMY EMMANUEL and JOHN KNOWLES–teamed with Parade.com yesterday (12/13) to premiere their rendition of The Bee Gees hit “How Deep Is Your Love” from their upcoming collaborative instrumental album, HEART SONGS. Due Friday, January 11 via CGP Sounds/Thirty Tigers, the new full-length album spotlights the players’ proficient ability to capture and radiate emotion through their instruments with special arrangements of “Cold, Cold Heart,” the album’s lead-off single written by Hank Williams; “Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)” written by Billy Joel; and “I Can Let Go Now” written by Michael McDonald, among other songs.
EMMANUEL, twice voted Best Acoustic Guitarist by readers of Guitar Player magazine and who’s been honored as a Member of the Order of Australia and KNOWLES, a Grammy winner and member of the National Thumb Picker’s Hall of Fame, know how to get to the core of a song and accentuate its finest qualities.
The 14-track HEART SONGS, recorded at EastWest Studios in Los Angeles, intertwines thoughtful arrangements of songs from other artists, a classic Broadway musical like West Side Story, their own compositions and live performances. In November, Guitar Player premiered the album’s lead single, “Cold, Cold Heart” while Acoustic Guitar magazine premiered “Walkin’ My Baby Back Home” and noted that “…it’s no surprise that both guitarists are on the top of their games throughout Heart Songs.” (11/29/2018)
In support of the album, EMMANUEL and KNOWLES will hit the road together with their first performance slated for January 8 in San Francisco, CA at Herbst Theatre. Additional stops are set for San Diego, New York City, Boston, and Minneapolis, among others, before wrapping in Nashville, on February 26 at the Grand Ole Opry. Tickets for all shows are on sale now. Click here for more details.
KNOWLES has also been added to TOMMY EMMANUEL’S June Guitar Camp in Vail, CO. More information on the camp can be found here.
