Todd Rundgren, que ha tenido exitos pop como "Hello It's Me" and "Can We Still Be Friends," realizo su ultimo cd ARENA en 2008, y ahora esta trabajando en un disco de covers de la leyenda del blues Robert Johnson. "El idioma del blues no es desconocido para mi", dice Rundgren, que comenzo su carrera en una banda de blues de Filadelfia llamada Woody's Truck Stop.
"El reto esta en que Johnson fue copiado profusamente, especialmente por uno de mis heroes, Eric Clapton".
Rundgren, quien produjo discos para la Paul Butterfield Blues band, vive actualmente en Hawaii con su mujer Michelle.
Rundgren, 61, who had pop hits such as "Hello It's Me" and "Can We Still Be Friends," has been touring with a theatrical production of his 1973 album A Wizard, A True Star. His last CD, Arena, was released in 2008, and he's working on an album of cover songs from the catalog of blues legend Robert Johnson. "The idiom of the blues is not that alien to me," says Rundgren, who began his career in a Philadelphia blues band called Woody's Truck Stop. "The challenge is that Robert Johnson has been so copiously covered, especially by one of my heroes, Eric Clapton." Rundgren lives with his wife, Michele, in Hawaii.
