Peter Gammon's album???!!!

I know this is basically a music blog, but I reserve the right to throw in baseball stuff every once in a while, such as now. But this is sort of baseball and music.

I'm a regular viewer of ESPN's daily Baseball Tonight show and was surprised to come across this item today. Baseball Hall of Fame writer, Peter Gammons, is a musician! Not only that, but he released an album last year on Rounder Records called "Never Slow Down, Never Grow Old." I'm going to check out some of the sound clips later today for kicks...here's the description:

With the assistance of a crack band of Boston rockers and some very special guests, celebrated baseball commentator and columnist Peter Gammons (ESPN, The Boston Globe, Sports Illustrated) trades in his typewriter for a Stratocaster and delivers a rousing set of vintage classics, originals, and rock obscurities - all to benefit Theo and Paul Epstein's Foundation to be Named Later, a charity which raises funds and awareness for non-profit agencies serving disadvantaged youth in the Greater Boston area. Gammons's ruggedly soulful vocals and guitar are featured alongside cameos from Red Sox G.M. Theo Epstein, Juliana Hatfield, George Thorogood, Little Feat's Paul Barrere, Kay Hanley, and an all-star chorus consisting of Red Sox players Jonathan Papelbon, Kevin Youkilis, Trot Nixon, Lenny DiNardo and Tim Wakefield, former Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo, and NESN broadcaster Don Orsillo.

And speaking of music & baseball, here's a cool article on baseball music by Dan Epstein on eMusic.com. Nice!
