Morgan Freeman Releases First Album at 89: Blending Blues, Gospel, and Orchestral Music
Morgan Freeman has added a new title to a career already full of them: recording artist. The Oscar winner released his first-ever album, Morgan Freeman's Symphonic Blues Experience, on August 7 via Decca Records – a 12-track project tracing 100 years of blues history, arriving just one year shy of his 90th birthday.
Freeman serves as producer and narrator on the album, which pairs Delta blues traditions with full orchestral arrangements from the Chineke! Orchestra, a majority-Black ensemble based in London. The collection features collaborations with blues veterans Taj Mahal, Keb' Mo', Shemekia Copeland and producer Lawrence "Boo" Mitchell, and spans from Blind Willie Johnson's 1927 recording "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground" to a cover of "I Lied to You" from the film Sinners. One standout track, "I'll Take You There," brings the gospel tradition directly into the project, featuring vocalist Tierinii Jackson alongside the Stax Music Academy Choir.
