RIVAL Sons singer Jay Buchanan has revealed he collaborated with Bob Weir before the Grateful Dead legend’s death on January 10.
Buchanan, speaking on Sirius XM, says the unfinished work he did with Weir, who was 78 when he died will likely never be released.
“Bobby was a friend of mine,” Buchanan told the Faction Talk station. “We collaborated for years on this big project he was working on.
“I don’t know that it ever will (be released) because it’s unfinished. It would be great if it did but you know how these things go.
“I’ve had a lot of projects and I’ve worked with a lot of different people and things don’t see the light of day very often.”
Speaking on the Trunk Nation show, Buchanan did not elaborate on whether the unfinished work was in the form of recordings or songs written – although as a renowned vocalist it seems likely his voice would have been committed to tape if he and Weir had worked together for a long period.
Buchanan told host Eddie Trunk: “I don’t know that any of that will see the light of day but it was was a really large project. It was very, very cool. I can’t talk too much about it because I don’t want to talk out of school.
“But it was a very interesting project and I would love for it to see the light of day but, you know, it’s not mine. It was his project. So there’s no telling.”
Weir died in Mill Valley, California, of . He was afforded a public procession through the streets of San Franciso, where the sixties counterculture at which the Grateful Dead were the centre originated.
Buchanan, 50, revealed he recorded his new solo album Weapons Of Beauty in a Mojave Desert ‘windowless bunker’ in complete solitude.
