Andre Cymone releases first new music in 27 years

Andre Cymone, who was the bass player in Prince's first touring band, has released a new solo album. It's called "The Stone." He will be playing at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis on Sunday. Cymone was an integral part of the Minneapolis music scene of the late 70s and early 80s. After playing with Prince, he launched a solo career, but put that career on hold to work as a producer for acts like Adam Ant and Tom Jones. This is his first solo recording in 27 years, and we have a clip you can hear.
