"Always a powerful guitarist." - Bob Dylan

I’m Gonna Live The Life I Sing About is the album that legendary guitarist Danny Kalb says "Is the record I always wanted to make" and marks his debut on Sojourn Records. I’m Gonna Live The Life I Sing About was produced by Mark Ambrosino and recorded at The Madhouse in Queens, NY featuring Kalb performing in both electric and acoustic trio settings.

The bulk of these performances were captured in 2006 through 2007 but other tracks are gems that Kalb has been stockpiling since the late 1990’s, plucked from relaxed periodic sessions with his various live line-ups. Kalb’s playing throughout is dazzling, yet understated, no-nonsense yet deeply emotional -- the work of an undisputed Old Master.

Danny Kalb has long been recognized as one of America's foremost guitarists. He is best known as the founding member of the legendary the Blues Project along with Al Kooper, a band that became one of the best-loved of the mid '60's, developing a strong national following and influencing untold numbers of aspiring young blues guitarists.

Born into a musical family, Danny was raised in Mt. Vernon, NY. He spent his childhood surrounded by his parents' folk, blues, jazz and classical records. He picked up the guitar at the age of 13 and hasn't put it down since. He attended the University of Wisconsin but couldn't resist the pull of Greenwich Village which was in the midst of a musical explosion boasting the likes of Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Richie Havens, Eric Anderson and Odetta. A protege of the great Dave Van Ronk, Danny established himself on this seminal folk and blues revival scene, first as a solo performer and session player with Phil Ochs, Pete Seeger and others, and later in his own right and in The New Strangers, his duo with Sam Charters. He absorbed the scene, jamming with blues greats Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker.
