Joe Bonamassa and Sammy Hagar have released a new collaborative track titled “Fortune Teller Blues.” You can find an official video for the song below:
The following was said about the single:
“A blues-drenched tale of fate and deception, ‘Fortune Teller Blues’ unfolds like a smoky backroom confession. The song’s lyrics chronicle an eerie encounter with a cryptic fortune teller who refuses to reveal the whole truth, leaving the narrator to wrestle with what’s better left unknown.”
Producer Kevin Shirley also commented:
“Sammy sent us this very rough idea of a blues song while Joe and I were in a studio in Greece, and we crafted a raw, edgy blues version to go with it. At times, it carries a haunting energy, and at others, it evokes the spirit of the New Orleans French Quarter. Joe was in a particularly gritty mood and played the entire track on an Ovation acoustic guitar plugged into an overdriven amplifier, producing a chaotic, heavy, and almost eerie sound. We wanted to create a different kind of blues feel to complement the lyrics, and we’re all thrilled with how it turned out.”
Hagar added:
“Holy shit, the thing came out good… the track is a monster!”
