Legendary artist Dion masters "Tank Full Of Blues" with Joe LaPorta at The Lodge!


Rock-n-Roll Hall of Famer Dion is hitting off the New Year with the release of his album “Tank Full Of Blues” today!  The album comes out via legendary producer Richard Gottehrer's relaunched blues label Blue Horizon and will mark the third in a trilogy of blues projects Dion has created.

Mastered at The Lodge by Joe LaPorta, “Tank Full Of Blues” features 11 guitar driven tracks and a constant beating rhythm bound to keep you craving for more old school blues goodness.

If you don't know much about Dion, then you need to get your music history a good brush up.  Dion boasts a career in recording spanning 55 years and over 30 studio albums released.  He started out as lead singer of Bronx based band The Belmonts in the late 50's and was one of the top singers during the 50's doo-wop era.  Dion was the voice behind mega hits such as "I Wonder Why" and "A Teenager in Love".  After splitting with The Belmonts in the 60's, Dion embarked on a solo career that took a more R&B/pop flavor and continued to enjoy great success with classics like "The Wanderer" and "Runaround Sue".

This is Dion's second album mastered at The Lodge"Son of Skip James" was mastered by Emily Lazar & Joe LaPorta in 2007 and we are very excited about being part of Dion's incredible repertoire once again. 

Here's an exclusive listen to first single "I Read It In The Rolling Stone"
