Keeping The Blues Alive Records

Dion will release the new album Girl Friends on March 8, which has him collaborating with a lineup of female performers, including Carleen Carter, Maggie Rose, Rory Block, Shemekia Copeland and Debbie Davis.

He also teams up with guitarist Susan Tedeschi on the just-released second single from the album, “Soul Force.” It follows the previously released tune “An American Hero,” featuring Carter.

You can listen to “Soul Force” now via digital outlets and watch the video on YouTube.

“I wanted the best music possible. So, I wrote up a batch of duets for me and my ‘girl friends,’ the women who inhabit my headphones — the women who make me turn up the volume when they drop into my radio,” Dion shares in a commentary about the record, titled “The Feminine Genius.” “You’ll hear the feminine genius in every groove of this record, and you won’t forget any of it.”
