Today marks the official premiere of Will Foulke’s highly anticipated debut album, Charleston Blues, exclusively on Music Crowns. Blending heartfelt storytelling with genre-spanning musicianship, the album pays homage to the legends of blues while introducing a fresh, modern perspective. From the psychedelic opener to the lush, harmony-rich closer, Charleston Blues takes listeners on a rich, emotional journey.
Foulke draws inspiration from icons such as Robert Johnson, Otis Redding, George Harrison, and Eric Clapton, while channeling the introspective soul of Brian Wilson and the melodic depth of Jeff Lynne. Every track demonstrates his skill as a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, with standout moments including the road-trip anthem “Dropped Out,” the contemplative ballad “Still Alive,” and the blistering guitar showcase in the title track, “Charleston Blues.”
Mixed by Elliott Elsey and mastered by legendary engineer Vlado Meller, the album’s production ensures that every nuance is crystal clear, from the jazzy textures of “One Notch” to the heartfelt tribute “Out To You.” Foulke’s commitment to authenticity shines through as he performs every instrument and vocal line himself, creating a deeply personal listening experience.
Music Crowns is proud to premiere Charleston Blues and invite fans, new and seasoned, to explore the emotional depth and musical craftsmanship of Will Foulke’s debut. Whether you’re a longtime blues aficionado or discovering the genre through modern eyes, this album promises a journey worth taking—turn it up, slow down, and savor every note.
