Lefty What a Life: The Lost LA Sessions

Lefty What a Life: The Lost LA Sessions on LP

David "Lefty" Foster has been captivated by music, particularly the blues, since his professional singing career began at the tender age of 14. His journey into the blues world was solidified during his twenties when he co-owned the Shaboo Inn, a legendary R&B and jazz nightclub that hosted blues greats such as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and T-Bone Walker.

In 1987, he relocated to Los Angeles and seized the opportunity to record his solo album, "What a Life," produced by the esteemed Paul Rothchild (The Doors, Janis Joplin, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Joni Mitchell). Despite the album's eventual shelving due to unforeseen circumstances, Lefty has now teamed up with Deko Entertainment to bring this album to life, now titled “What A Life – The Lost L.A. Sessions”.

In addition to Rothchild, the album features the incredible Phenix Horns most notably known for being the horn section with Earth, Wind & Fire as well as a who’s who of top session guys of the day including Jack Scarangella (Blood Sweat & Tears), Mark Williams (Don Henley), Joe Lala (Whitney Houston), Kal David (Etta James), and much more. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this snapshot in time when music was made the old fashioned way. They PLAYED IT.
