Rick Allen Plays on Lauren Monroe’s New Single
Rick Allen’s wife Lauren Monroe has recently released her new single “GIVE”. Produced by Rick Allen and Preston Pope, this groove worthy track features soulful vocals by Monroe and Moon Calhoun with Honky Tonk piano by Bruce Hornsby Keyboardist “JT” John Thomas. Reminiscent of a 70’s marriage of Billy Preston, Janis Joplin, and Little Feat, this song delivers funky guitar lines by Preston Pope and Mark Hayes and a rhythm section second to none with David Chamberlain on bass, Rick Allen on drums, and Forrest Robinson on percussion.
Rick says that he loves the song and is very proud of his wife and her talent. He asks that you check it out when you have a chance!
