Eric Krasno teams up with his King Canyon bandmate, drummer/multi-instrumentalist/producer Otis McDonald on a super funky version of “Be Your Man”, a tune Krasno originally co-wrote for Aaron Neville’s 2016 album Apache. Out now on Krasno’s Feel Music Group label, the track features the Soulive guitarist and producer on lead vocals with background vocals by Nigel Hall.
“‘Be Your Man’ was originally written by Dave Gutter and myself for Aaron Neville’s album. I sang on the original demo and always loved singing that song. I performed it live a few times with my band and eventually, I sent a basic stripped-down version to Otis McDonald,” Krasno said.
“Otis decided to work up a new arrangement and I LOVED it. I added my vocals and guitars and the rest is history. The one and only Nigel Hall also added some background vocals to the mix. The lyrics describe a man who will do anything for his woman and would stand by her at all costs.”
