James Williamson To Release ‘Blues Jumped The Rabbit’ Single

Following his recent single with The Bellrays’ Lisa Kekaula, The Stooges’ James Williamson has collaborated with singer, violinist and composer Petra Haden for a new benefit single, Blues Jumped The Rabbit, backed with Last Kind Words. Both of these songs are traditional folk/blues compositions. The lyrics for the A-side can be traced back to Blind Lemon Jefferson‘s 1926 recording Rabbit Foot Blues, while the B-side was first recorded by blues enigma Geeshie Wiley back in 1930.

The single is out now on iTunes and will be available on seven inch vinyl format on August 19th

Proceeds from this record will benefit Tazzy Animal Rescue Fund, you can read about the charity here
