Southern roots-rock alumni Warren Haynes has released his striking orchestral take of Grateful Dead classic 'Skakedown Street' as a second single from upcoming live album 'Dreams & Songs,' which will be released on Provogue/Artone Label Group (Europe) and Evil Teen Records (U.S.)

"This is a really powerful orchestrated arrangement that enhances the power of the original, which I played and sang a ton of times with those guys through the years, especially Phil Lesh and Friends, but with The Dead as well," shares Warren Haynes.
"A lot of people just focus on the groove and get lost in the rhythmic quality of it, but the orchestra forces you to pay attention to it in a different way. It’s very dark, powerful and, I think, very effective."

'Dreams & Songs' presents 2019’s one-of-a-kind concert at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville NC.
It captures the thrilling collision between Warren Haynes' lineup of seasoned rock 'n' roll improvisers including Oteil Burbridge (bass), John Medeski (keys), Jeff Sipe (drums), Greg Osby (saxophone) and Edwin McCain & Jasmine Muhammad (background vocals) and the 64-piece Asheville Symphony Orchestra.
​
The 16-track collection explores all aspects of his incredible catalogue and career including music from Gov’t Mule, Allman Brothers Band, The Dead, his solo albums, and more.

"Truly, this is for the fans," says Samantha Fish of making her first official live record. "We’ve had numerous requests over the years. Paper Doll felt so great on stage that it felt like the perfect time to showcase the band and capture what we do every night. It wasn’t about chasing something new. It was about capturing the thing that has connected so deeply over the years.
If Paper Doll was a declaration of artistic power, Paper Doll Live is the sound of that power unleashed."

The album has been preceded by the singles 'Sweet Southern Sounds.' 'Don't Say It' and, now the title track.

Southern California roots rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck, who recently released 'Wreckage Vol. 3' (collecting a range of recent standalone singles recorded and released over the past year) have now issued 'Arryo' from the album as a single.

Built from a free-form jam rehearsal, 'Arroyo' captures another side of the band, one that’s sonically rawer, looser, heavier, and deeply rooted in the spontaneous chemistry that has long defined their live shows.

Recorded at the legendary Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, the track was self-produced by the band and engineered & mixed by Chad Gordon, who previously worked with Henry James on his very first recordings years ago.
Described by guitarist Henry James as "a semi-improvised 70s southern rock jam," much of the final version came together in the first or second take, including improvised solos from James and Jake Abernathie on Hammond B3.

'Vol 3' is also the third part of what is now a Wreckage trilogy of releases - 'Vol. 1' (2017) was a collection of B-sides; 'Vol. 2' (2022) featured a selection of live recordings.

The band will be back in the UK in June, and again in October, for a select number of shows.
Thursday 18th June – Holmfirth, Picturedrome
Friday 19th June – Dorset, Love Rocks Festival
Friday 2nd October – Cambridge, The Junction
Saturday 3rd October – Rock City, Nottingham
Sunday 4th October – Liverpool, O2 Academy 2
Tuesday 6th October – Bristol, Trinity
Wednesday 7th October – Leeds, Project House
Thursday 8th October – Oxford, O2 Academy 2

“Arroyo” is a stand-alone single that we recorded in the fall of 2025. We recorded this at the legendary Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, CA in Studio 2, which i...

Following the April release, and subsequent acclaim, for his 'Two Shades Of Blue' album, five-time Grammy nominee and renowned guitarist Robben Ford has announced a return to the UK in January & February 2027 for a run of nine shows.
(​Tickets: https://www.robbenford.com/tour )

Across a career spanning more than five decades, Robben Ford has collaborated with such luminaries as Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis, George Harrison, Bonnie Raitt and Bob Dylan.
As a solo artist, his live shows are a rare chance to witness a true innovator at the height of his powers; a guitar master who blends blues, rock, jazz and fusion into something entirely his own.

'Two Shades Of Blue' highlights a musician at the top of his game.
Tracked in the US and UK with two different crack-squad bands, the album paints with his Ford’s inimitable palette, from the low-slung funk-blues of lead single 'Make My Own Weather' to skyscraping instrumentals such as 'Two Shades of Blue' and the brass-bolstered soul ballad, 'Perfect Illusion,' all showcasing the prowess of a player ranked amongst the 100 Greatest Guitarists Of The 20th Century by Musician Magazine

Hard rockin’ guitarist-singer-songwriter Jack J Hutchinson has released a new single, 'Soul Believer.'
Stream/ Download: https://earache.lnk.to/SoulBeliever

The track is the first to be heard from Hutchinson’s forthcoming new studio album of the same name, due for release on 22nd January 2027.
Pre-order: https://eyesoremerch.com/bands/j/jack-j-hutchinson/

Co-written with Josiah J Manning, the riff-gritty Soul Believer "was written during a period of turmoil and instability in my personal life," says Jack. "It’s about taking all the s**t life can throw at you, raising your head above the parapet and saying, ‘bring it the f*ck on!’. It’s about believing that eventually there will be brighter days and that hope is a powerful thing."

"The twelve tracks on Soul Believer are the most eclectic I’ve written for an album," continues Jack. "My favourite records are Physical Graffiti and Exile on Main Street, which are both pretty diverse ranging albums. I wanted to do something similarly expansive, and create something quite cinematic. I think it’s the best collection of songs I’ve written so far."

Jack J Hutchinson will return to the road in June with his band Greg Smith (bass) and Phil Wilson (drums).
