Australian maestro Tommy Emmanuel has released the second single from his new collaborative album, Accomplice Two (opens in new tab).

Due out on April 28 via CGP Sounds, Emmanuel’s latest guitar bonanza follows up 2018’s Accomplice One (opens in new tab) and stars a host of fellow six-string luminaries including Billy Strings, Jorma Kaukonen, Yasmin Williams, Richard Smith and more.

I have been a fan of Little Feat since I first heard them back in the '70s

Back in February, Emmanuel revealed the first single from Accomplice Two – a spectacular cover of Townes Van Zandt’s “White Freight Liner Blues” featuring Grammy-winning bluegrass ace Molly Tuttle.

This time around, Little Feat and Sam Bush join forces with the Aussie acoustic guitar virtuoso for a cover of “Cajun Girl (opens in new tab).” Accompanying the new single is a performance video filmed in Ocean Way (opens in new tab)’s Studio B in Nashville.

“I have been a fan of Little Feat since I first heard them back in the '70s,” reminisced Emmanuel. “They are a powerful band with great songs and tight, funky arrangements. I'm so honored to be on this track with these legends, to play with them, sing with them, and to find a common love of good music that brings the best out in all of us.

“I am also thrilled that Sam Bush came and played a great fiddle part which makes this track unique and shows his love for Little Feat too! The youngest member of the band, Scott Sharrard, is doing such brilliant work on slide guitar that I had to feature him on the last solo of the track.

“Great thanks to Tommy Emmanuel for bringing new life to Little Feat’s 'Cajun Girl,' said Little Feat’s Bill Payne (opens in new tab). “To be in his orbit is always fun and relaxed. He is the consummate musician and a warm and open host.

“Looking at the array of artists on Accomplice Two, many of whom the band know, gives us a tangible joy to be in Tommy’s extended family. We’re pleased to say he is part of Little Feat’s family, too.”

Produced by Emmanuel, Accomplice Two is a spirited mix of covers and originals.
