| Blues-rock titan Joe Bonamassa and rock legend Sammy Hagar have teamed up for an electrifying new single, “Fortune Teller Blues,” out now on all major streaming platforms via Bonamassa’s J&R Adventures. This powerhouse collaboration blends Bonamassa’s searing guitar work with Hagar’s unmistakable vocals, delivering a high-voltage track steeped in grit and mystery. 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. The track’s simmering tension is amplified by a driving beat and deep, brooding riffs that channel both Bonamassa’s mastery of blues guitar and Hagar’s rock-and-roll swagger. Co-written by Bonamassa, Hagar, and longtime producer Kevin Shirley (Iron Maiden, Journey, Black Crowes), the track is steeped in classic blues traditions yet injected with a fierce, modern energy. Bonamassa’s scorching solos and Hagar’s impassioned delivery elevate the song into a tour de force. Shirley reflected on the song’s origin, saying, “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!” |
