(CD/Digital) Six Degrees Records SDR11792, 2011-05-24

With his 2010 World Cup performance before a billion people in Johannesburg, South Africa, Vieux Farka Touré has become one of the most celebrated African guitarists in history. Unanimously hailed as one of the best contemporary African music releases of the year, his last studio album, Fondo saw Vieux emphatically emerging out of the famous shadow of his father, beloved African super star Ali Farka Touré - with excursions into jam-rock and electronic virtuosity, fused with the sublime elements of Malian and West African rhythms. Fondo largely made the boundaries between rock and world music immaterial. Vieux takes a dramatic next step with his new record, The Secret, produced by Soulive's Eric Krasno and featuring collaborations with guitar greats, Derek Trucks (Allman Brothers Band) & John Scofield as well as an inspired vocal contribution from Dave Matthews, and Vieux's final collaboration with his legendary father, Ali Farka Touré.

'Deeply funky and gritty album from the long established and highly acclaimed superstars of the US jam band scene'.
2009 marks Soulive's 10th Anniversary and over the past 10 years, Soulive have covered a lot of ground musically and literally.

Nor can many bands open for The Rolling Stones on one tour and have Stevie Wonder sit in with them on the next tour, and who else has recorded for legendary labels such as Blue Note, Concorde AND Stax Records? Pedigree indeed! Of this brand new album founding member, drummer Alan Evans says 'This is the Soulive album I've always wanted to record. It's what I've been hearing in my head for years, like when people say 'if I could go back in time knowing what I know now' Well, that's what we did with Up Here. The session had the vibe and energy of Get Down but with all of our experiences from the past 10 years put down on tape in a very meaningful way'
