Producer Kevin McKendree says: "Because of Yates’s lifelong, intense dedication to blues and roots music, he has developed a direct line from his soul to whatever instrument he holds. When he sings and plays, you don’t just hear it, you feel it…deeply." Yates's debut LP, BUCHANAN LANE, was the #1 charting and critically-acclaimed debut LP from the Grammy™ winning traditional blues musician, vocalist and songwriter dedicated to the music he loves the most: straight-up Traditional Blues.
