'Man In Motion' (May 10, Stax/Concord) Finds Warren Haynes Focusing On His First Instrument: His Voice; Rolling Stone: 'Warren Haynes Channels James Brown'

Miami Beach, FL (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) Warren Haynes' new album 'Man In Motion' finds Haynes returning to his first musical instrument: his voice. "My first love was soul music and the vocals are more of a centerpiece in that type of music. I was a singer before I was a guitar player." Among his early vocal influences were Wilson Pickett and Sam & Dave, but Haynes has since taken on his own distinctive gravel-and-honey style.

In hand-picking the band to record 'Man In Motion,' he envisioned a trio of voices to help lift the soul-inspired material that he was writing. "I thought that Ivan Neville's voice, Ruthie Foster's, and my own would sound good together and they did."

Guitar fans need not worry that Haynes has abandoned his ax. The new album contains plenty of lyrical soloing, largely on a 1950s Gibson ES 335. Citing B.B. King, Freddie King, and Albert King, Haynes confirms, "I like guitar players who sound like they're singing through their instrument."

Rolling Stone previewed 'Man In Motion' with an In The Studio piece recently, saying, "Warren Haynes channels James Brown" and also included the new record in their spring preview. Rolling Stone.com also premiered live video footage of the Warren Haynes Band performing "Sick Of My Shadow": https://bit.ly/fCXkRb
