Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds will return to the
road for his first U.S. tour date schedule in years this fall,
in support of PLAYLIST. His newest album is
the first release on the newly re-launched Mercury Records
label, and features his new Top 10 version of James
Taylor’s “Fire & Rain.” The U.S. tour has
just been expanded to a dozen cities, opening Friday, November
23rd at The Paramount Theater in Oakland, CA, and running to
December 14th at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk, VA. Kenny's special
guest is Ayo, the critically acclaimed, International platinum
soul singer/songwriter whose U.S. debut CD will be released on
Interscope Records on November 20th. Her PBS special, "Live
From Monte Carlo", will air in December.
PLAYLIST is
the first Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds album devoted (mostly) to
cover versions of some of his favorite songs. Building on the
success of “Fire & Rain” at the AC and
Smooth Jazz radio formats, Edmonds’ original “Not
Going Nowhere” recently moved inside the Top 40 at
Urban AC
In
addition to another original song, “The Soldier
Song,” an evocative elegy in this time of war,
PLAYLIST contains definitive new versions of
songs from Bob Dylan (“Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”), Dan
Fogelberg (“Longer”), James Taylor (“Shower The People”), Eric
Clapton (“Wonderful Tonight”), Bread (“Diary”), Jim Croce
(“Time In A Bottle”), and Dave Loggins (“Please Come To
Boston”).
As momentum for
PLAYLIST continues, Kenny
“Babyface” Edmonds has maintained a high
profile on TV and in the media. Television performances have
included: The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Today
Show, Live with Regis & Kelly, CMT
Crossroads Concert Special featuring Trisha
Yearwood, Ellen, and The Tyra Banks Show.
