LOFGREN TEAMS UP WITH CUSSLER FOR LIQUOR RECORD

Rocker NILS LOFGREN has teamed up with best-selling author CLIVE CUSSLER to pen a new song about "great old liquors." The guitar great put music to Cussler's lyrics with a view to creating a "corny country song," but he's more than proud with the finished product, Whatever Happened to Muscatel? Lofgren tells Billboard.com, "We wrote this song about these great old liquors that have fallen by the wayside. "It started with us wanting to write this corny country song, but we went to work on it and it's not a corny country song anymore - it's quite cool." Lofgren reveals Cussler even sings a few lines on the track. The odd couple became close friends when they realised they lived five minutes apart in Arizona. The song will soon be available on Lofgren's website.
