Hugh Laurie is set to take a new turn in his career after announcing plans to record a blues album.

The British actor, who has become a star in the U.S. due to his role the TV series House, has been signed to produce an album with Joe Henry.

Laurie is no stranger to musical melodies, having used instruments regularly during comedy shows with Stephen Fry, A Bit of Fry And Laurie as well as Jeeves And Wooster.

Speaking about the new record Laurie said: "I am drunk with excitement at this opportunity,"
"I know the history of actors making music is a chequered one, but I promise no one will get hurt. I am particularly thrilled to be working with Joe Henry, who has produced some of my favourite records of all time, and I can't wait to get started."
