Supersonic Blues Machine - 'Do It Again' (ft. Ana Popovic)

Το νέο δισκογραφικό πόνημα των Supersonic Blues Machine κυκλοφορεί ήδη. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Voodoo Nation" και "βγήκε" στις αρχές του καλοκαιριού με την συμμετοχή πλειάδας εκλεκτών καλεσμένων (το δελτίο τύπου που ακολουθεί τους αναφέρει αναλυτικά).

Οι Supersonic Blues Machine είναι ένα blues - hard rock συγκρότημα - τρίο. Δημιουργήθηκαν προ επταετίας και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δύο "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους συν ένα live album.

Την μπάντα αποτελούν ο (κιθαρίστας και τραγουδιστής) Kris Barras, ο μπασίστας Fabrizio Grossi (Steve Vai, Alice Cooper, George Clinton, Slash) και ο ντράμερ Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, Meat Loaf, Brandon Flowers, John Fogerty, Red Hot Chili Peppers).

Δελτίο τύπου: «Supersonic Blues Machine will be releasing their band-new studio album Voodoo Nation on June 24 via Provogue/Mascot Label Group.

The album once again features another coming together of icons along with some of the most exciting names in blues; Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke), Eric Gales, Joe Louis Walker, Ana Popovic, Kirk Fletcher, King Solomon Hicks, Josh Smith & Sonny Landreth.

At the core of the band is producer/bass player Fabrizio Grossi (Steve Vai, Alice Cooper, George Clinton, Slash) and drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, Meat Loaf, Brandon Flowers, John Fogerty, Red Hot Chili Peppers) with British rocker Kris Barras as singer-guitarist.

Barras has a recent UK Top 30 album chart hit in March himself, and he is leading the pack of the British hard rock revival with several A-list singles, BBC Radio appearances and sell-out shows. Voodoo Nation is the band’s third studio album.

On their evolution, Fabrizio says, "Kris comes from this British school of hard rock and blues. This is a different sound to Kenny and me with the Allman Brothers, Sly Stone & The Family & Mountain. On Californisoul (2017), we were going more West Coast Funkadelic 60s and overall jam vibe. Blues but with more of a hippy flower power. With Kris, we wanted his footprint there, so that's why you hear Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Gary Moore. Kind of a Union Jack imprint over a Star-Spangled Banner".»

Παρακολουθούμε το μουσικό βίντεο του τραγουδιού "Do It Again" (με την συμμετοχή της τραγουδίστριας - κιθαρίστριας Ana Popovic), για το οποίο ο μπασίστας της μπάντας (Fabrizio Grossi) μας λέει:

Everyone who thinks that being a musician is a fancy, glorious, glamorous way of leading a privileged life has it really reversed! For every Beyonce or Elton John who deserve everything they’ve achieved 1000%, there are millions and millions of us who struggle daily with indifference, dismissal, frustration for people’s procrastination and incapacity (sometimes even in our own close environment) to wrap up simple yet fundamental little tasks that are so important for what we do.

This is an anthem for all those musicians who day after day “Do it again” in spite of the sacrifices, the fight for relevance, and to be, at least once, a priority in their own circle. The video is a quick & metaphorical example of the journey that each one of us went and will go through, coming from all over the world, just to get together and try to get our voices heard, without discouragement, actually feeding from it and, by stealing a line from Xavier Dphrepaulezz, to “take that bullshit & turn it into good shit.
