One man, one building, one last illegal session with the ghosts of blues royalty.
Danny fulfilled his great ambition to play and record in his native Cincinnati's King Records studio. On this unique video, he illegally enters the derelict King building in order to commune with the spirits of the great King Records artists from the past -- and, in so doing, becomes the last musician to ever record at the original studio on Brewster Avenue in Cincinnati's Evanston neighborhood. Video ncludes tracks written by Danny and others that were inspired by his King heroes such as "Cincinnati' Fatback"
Production
Illegally recorded in a crumbling landmark—no permits, just reverence.
Sound
Raw acoustics of decaying King Records walls become the final instrument.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
King Records launched James Brown, Hank Ballard, and Bootsy Collins—Danny Adler is literally the last name in that lineage.
The Brewster Avenue building was demolished in 2018, making this footage unintentionally the only surviving document of its interior acoustics.
