Ceelo Green Has Made An Album With Dan Auerbach

Ceelo Green has recruited The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach to create an album he says is “like if Al Green did a country album”.

The album titled “CeeLo Green is… Thomas Callaway”, a reference to Green’s real name.

Country it may not be but the combination of Green and Auerbach has given Ceelo a throwback to a previous musical generation.

“(Dan and I) were friends and had some history, and I jumped at the opportunity. It was an honor and a compliment,” Ceelo Green said is a statement.

“We were messing around in the studio and I didn’t know that he was secretly recording and compiling material for me. The whole process was a first (for me), to sit and write with an acoustic guitar and organ and with seasoned musicians from Nashville and Muscle Shoals, all of these wonderful elder statesmen. It was a really enlightening experience,” said CeeLo Green.

Track Listing for “CeeLo Green is… Thomas Callaway”:

1. For You
2. Lead Me
3. Little Mama
4. Don’t Lie
5. I Wonder How Love…
6. People Watching
7. You Gotta Do It All

9. Slow Down
