Twenty years since the release of his best-selling album 'Blues Deluxe,' which celebrated what the US government had declared "the year of the blues" with a mix of originals and reinterpretations of classic songs, superstar Joe Bonamassa is taking stock of how far he and the genre have come with Blues Deluxe Vol. 2, out October 6th via J&R Adventures. Featuring two new originals and eight new covers spanning some of the most important names in the blues - from Bobby "Blue" Bland and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac to Albert King - Blues Deluxe 2 finds Bonamassa returning to his roots and giving new life to the classic tracks that have informed his own artistry.

"If you had told me 20 years ago my career would last long enough to see the 20th anniversary of this little record called 'Blues Deluxe,' I'm sure I would have laughed," Bonamassa reflects. "Blues Deluxe was my last shot after being dropped by two major record labels and my booking agent. It was then that my manager, Roy Weisman, had his first 'all in' moment. We would go back into the studio and record. A record that would hopefully define the direction of whatever future career I might have." (continue)

The Pretenders have shared their beautiful new song, "I Think About You Daily." The track features composer Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead, The Smile) who provided the string arrangement and conducted the 12 Ensemble for the recording. It is the stunning closing track of Relentless, the band's forthcoming studio album due September 15, 2023, via Rhino Records.

"I met Jonny a couple of times, and we're obviously big fans of him because he's done some incredible music over the years," says Chrissie Hynde. "I saw him at the Phantom Thread première where the film was running on screen with a live orchestra playing. And we spoke afterward and he expressed an interest in doing something one day. I was thrilled and very surprised. He also came down to see a Valve Bone Woe show we were doing in the basement of a Pizza Express. So when we discussed the idea of getting strings on 'I Think About You Daily,' he was the first choice. Legend!" (continue)

Michigan alternative rocker PlainView recently release their new single "His & Hearse" featuring RIVALS' Kalie Wolfe. To celebrate, we asked Ryan White to tell us about the song. Here is the story:

With His & Hearse I wanted to write a love song, but inevitably it ended up pretty twisted. I thought it would be interesting to write a one-sided love story where you don't get both perspectives. I feel like it added a sense of mystery and disorientation which made the nature of what's happening really satisfying to reveal. (continue)
