Indeed, the single is the first to be mixed by Kevin Shirley, which has a swaggering groove full of expressive interludes and an anthemic chorus which is epic yet direct. The band are currently scheduled to perform at a number of 2021 festivals including Hard Rock Hell and Ramblin' Man Fair, plus they are also special guests on The Quireboys September 2021 tour.

Last Friday, Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar released their new single, and today's Video Of The Day, ‘I’ve Got A Feeling’, taken from their upcoming studio album, ‘The Reckless One’, which in turn is due to be released by Gypsy Soul Records on Friday 20th November. With the worldwide pandemic wrecking utter havoc upon the careers of many musicians, the band elected to use their time off the road to record, their latest tour-de-force. The astonishingly powerful, funky and deeply soulful, highly anticipated new album, is the follow-up to 2018’s Juno-nominated 'Run To Me'. 'The Reckless One' represents another massive step forward for Samantha as a songwriter, singer, arranger and band leader. Eleven of the album’s twelve songs were either co-written or solely composed by the multi-faceted artist. Indeed, her music embodies Roots, Blues, Blues Rock, Soul, R&B, including a dash of Motown – performed by an ensemble of amazing musicians at the top of their game.

The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band will be releasing their first ever live concert video, 'Straight To You: Live', on Friday 27th November via Provogue, of which the opener, 'Woman Like You', is today's Video Of The Day.

Indeed, the release of 'Straight To You: Live' comes during a time when there is no live music and the world looks a very different place to a year ago, and as the seven-piece Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band bow out on a phenomenal finale of Jimi Hendrix's 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return)', they wave goodbye to the cheering crowd that reignites that love of live music and the hope that is to come.
