Rocking blues or bluesy rock, who cares. This fabulous taster to a new album from Ben Hemming (to be released May 2025) leaves us in anticipation for more to come.

Release Date:  26th July 2024  

Format:   streaming

This is the third song  released as a prelude to a new album. Ben is based in London, having received many accolades from the blues fraternity this  song can be  seen as another effort for the blues family to extend its boundaries to a different sound.

“With this song I wanted to look back at my artistic roots and create a song filled with the blues heritage of my early work”  says Ben. “When I first came up with the riff for this one I knew I’d written a banging track that people would love. “

He’s not wrong. It grabs you by the scruff of the neck and is reluctant to let  go. The huge riff which pulls you in immediately and gruff vocals  create a new and unique sound. His vocals are powerful, passionate and clear not only to hear but also in its message. When he tells us how he “Sold my soul to an evil man”  it wouldn’t be for the first time in blues  but  not only searching for new horizons musically but also looking for his place in a crazy world.
