“Sundown” is the title track from the new album by Eddie Chacon, out on March 31st. The “Sundown” video, which documents the process of recording the album, was shot at 64 Sound Studios in Northeast LA. Appearing in the video are John Carroll Kirby, who produced, co-wrote and played keys on Sundown, Logan Hone (flutes and saxophones), Elizabeth Lea (trombone), Will Logan (drums) and David Leach (percussion).
“Sundown” is a song about “being humbled by how little time we have on this earth”. Only now, Eddie says, at his age – 59 – does he have the life experience and quiet confidence to sing about such a subject. As one half of the duo Charles & Eddie, whose hit single “Would I Lie To You” was a chart-topper heard around the world, Eddie was a bona fide pop star.
Chacon deserted the music business following the band’s stratospheric success. Meeting John Carroll Kirby in 2019 was the catalyst for Eddie’s return to music, and together they made the album Pleasure, Joy and Happiness, released in 2020. Pleasure, Joy and Happiness had been intended as a swan song but Eddie felt reinvigorated by its word-of-mouth success. He says, “Sundown is the follow-up I never thought I would get to make.”
This month, Eddie Chacon heads out to Australia and New Zealand, followed by a headline show with John Carroll Kirby at Los Angeles’ Lodge Room and a series of shows in the UK and Europe. Full dates are listed below.
