Due to be released on Friday 11th August, Easy Eye Sound recently unveiled today's Video Of The Day of 'Daughter Of Zion', the latest piece of their upcoming Blues compilation, 'Tell Everybody!', which pays tribute to guitarist Glenn Schwartz, a formative mentor to Easy Eye Sound founder Dan Auerbach, as well as to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Joe Walsh. The two musicians - along with The Arcs - back the unsung Ohio hero on this original recording, which stems from sessions at Nashville’s Easy Eye Sound Studios just before Glenn’s passing in 2018. For Schwartz, this final chapter collaborating with Auerbach and Walsh - even making an unlikely Coachella debut with them in 2016 - is a fitting last twist in one of music’s most unpredictable careers.
