This is James Williamson’s third and last single of the year.\u00a0This time the guitar legend has teamed up with a\u00a0talented 19 year-old singer\/songwriter named Maia, who\u00a0is currently attending\u00a0Berklee College\u00a0of Music in Boston\u00a0for vocal music and composition. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Williamson’s previous efforts this year included a collaboration with Petra Haden on “Blues Jumped The Rabbit” and “Last Kind Words” to benefit the Tazzy Animal Rescue Fund<\/a> and a collaboration with Lisa Kekaula on “I Love My Tutu” and “Never Far From Where The Wild Things Are” to benefit Project Hawai’i<\/a> which helps homeless children in Hawaii.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This third single will be the last record on which Williamson’s iconic “Leopard Lady” guitar will be played.\u00a0This guitar has been used on every record Williamson has made – from his first album with The Stooges,\u00a0Raw Power,\u00a0to the present.\u00a0 He is donating both the Leopard Lady Les Paul Custom, as well as\u00a0his Gibson B25N acoustic guitar to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Museum for posterity. The latter acoustic is the guitar James wrote most of the music to Raw Power on and wrote and played on Kill City, which he recorded with Iggy Pop back in 1975.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Williamson says of his young collaborator,\u00a0“I first came into contact with Maia through my engineer in Berkeley, Jason Carmer.\u00a0He played me something she had written and sang and I was instantly intrigued.\u00a0I had him ask her to come down to the studio the next day (Maia is from San Francisco) and I was blown away by her enthusiasm, talent and the nuance of her vocals.\u00a0We decided that day to write and record these songs together and this is the result of that effort.\u00a0 We hope you like them as much as we do.”<\/p>\n
