Hugh Laurie is getting serious about the blues. The British House star announced today via press release that he’s signed with Warner Music Entertainment to release a New Orleans blues album that he plans to spend the rest of the summer and fall recording. Folk-rocker Joe Henry will produce, and several musical collaborators yet to be named are expected to join in the sessions.

休·勞瑞要認真對待藍調音樂了。這位扮演豪斯醫(yī)生的英國明星今天通過媒體宣布，自己已經和華納娛樂簽了合約發(fā)行一張新奧爾良藍調專輯。他打算在這個夏季和秋天開始錄制。民謠搖滾音樂人喬·亨利將擔綱制作，另有其他音樂人也被提名加入唱片制作團隊中。

The announcement can’t come as too much of a surprise to regular viewers of Fox’s House, where the cantankerous doctor played by Laurie has frequently shown off his piano and guitar talents. Laurie shares his character’s skills in real life; he is “predominantly self-taught (after creative differences with his childhood teacher),” according to the press release. “I am drunk with excitement at this opportunity,” he adds in the same release. “I know the history of actors making music is a checkered one, but I promise no one will get hurt.”

如果你是?？怂古_《豪斯醫(yī)生》的忠實觀眾，對這個消息應該不會驚訝了。勞瑞扮演的這位“品行不端”的醫(yī)生時不時就會在片子里秀一下鋼琴和吉他技術。勞瑞自己技術也不錯，根據(jù)報道說，他很擅長自學成才。他在報道里面說，“得到這個機會我都飄飄然了，我知道演員玩音樂道路很曲折，不過我保證大家都不會損失啥?！?/div>

話說豪斯大叔的角色名House也是一種音樂的名稱，HOUSE音樂是八十年代沿自DISCO發(fā)展出來的跳舞音樂，是芝加哥的DJ玩出的音樂。他們將德國電子樂團Kraftwerk的一張唱片和電子鼓(Drum Machine)規(guī)律的節(jié)奏，及黑人藍調歌聲混音在一起，House就產生了。而大叔唱片的風格新奧爾良藍調帶有加勒比韻律（尤其是倫巴）和一些美國南方音樂色彩。此類別可輕松休閑，也可捶胸跺腳地豪放。

另外就是，豪斯大叔有組樂隊噠，叫Band from TV，成員都是出演過美劇的明星們，下面這段視頻就是Band from TV在現(xiàn)場秀的表演：
