“Kingfish” Ingram Releases “662” with Tommy MacDonald and Glenn Worf
Christone “Kingfish” Ingram has been leading the charge for the latest wave of blues musicians. After releasing his debut album in 2019, the guitarist and vocalist has returned with a follow-up called 662, which is named after the area code for his hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi.
“My sophomore album is a direct reflection of my growth as a young man,” Ingram shares. “This album is very personal to me as it was conceptualized, created, and co-written during the Covid-19 pandemic when I returned home to the 662 after a truly whirlwind year of change and growth. Coming home to write this album offered a remarkable history for me to draw upon. ‘662’ is an album that sits upon the legacy and influences my blues music elders have instilled in me but is also my unique, personal story.”
As with Kingfish, 662 is anchored by bassist Tommy MacDonald, whose credits also include work with Buddy Guy, George Thorogood, and Johnny Winter. Four songs were recorded with Nashville session ace Glenn Worf.
