Duets are definitely in fashion. Following the success of **Ray
Charles' 'Genius Loves Company’ album, the great Herbie
Hancock is following in his footsteps with his own album of collaborations which, like Charles' album, will be released in association with, and therefore sold by, coffee firm Starbucks**.
No word on whether Hancock plans to add that extra hook to the marketing mix for the album by dieing not long after its release.
Elsewhere in duets news, the New York Daily News reports that **Jerry Lee
Lewis is also planning an album of collaborations, with Bruce
Springsteen, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Neil Young, B.B. King**,
Little Richard, Don Henley, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Kid Rock,
Rod Stewart and Kris Kristofferson all reportedly set to feature on the project.
Back home, and as reported yesterday, word is Robbie Williams’
next album could be filled with duets too.
