Blue King Brown expect to release their much anticipated second studio album next year.

The Aussie roots outfit will release the follow up to their debut album sometime in 2009.

The band has been working on the new album with the likes of Sly and Robbie, Jah Mason, Rovleta Fraser and engineer Bonzai (Damian and Stephen Marley).

The new album is being recorded between Melbourne’s Sing Sing studios, Kingston’s Anchor studios and the late Bob Marley’s Tuff Gong studios in Jamaica.

Meanwhile, Blue King Brown will take time out from recording the album later to head out on tour.

The band will tour both locally and throughout the US and Canada for the next few months.
