Robin Trower, Maxi Priest, and Livingstone Brown are all directly influenced by soul and gospel and have a deep appreciation for music and share a passion for all genres. United State of Mind came about after a chance meeting in Livingstone’s studio in Brixton, UK, and this unlikely trio hit it off. Featured guest is Paul Jones on harmonica whose chops couldn’t be any better. Two-time Grammy nominee Maxi Priest’s expressive, smoky vocals bring this track to life in concert with Trower playing some scintillating blues guitar licks and Brown working his magic on bass. It’s one of the best versions I’ve heard of this tune, if not the best. The bands blues influences are greatly enhanced, not only by Robin’s extended guitar solos, but the addition of top harmonica player Paul Jones (Manfred Mann/Blues Band)Īnd bluesy and soulful it is. This version of the old Elvis Presley classic is given a real soul drenching feel. ‘Santa Claus is Back in Town’ is a bit bluesier than most of the tracks on the debut United State of Mind album. Here’s to this trio of legendary artists releasing another song today. Robin Trower, Maxi Priest and Livingstone Brown release ‘Santa Claus Is Back In Town,’ the brand new track from this powerful team of legendary artists who released their debut album, United State of Mind on Octoon Manhaton Records.
