Interview and Live Photos : Robert Cavuoto
The first single from The Dead Daisies’ new reimagined blues cover album, Lookin’ For Trouble, is the classic Robert Johnson song “Crossroads,” with the full album arriving May 30th via Fame / Malaco Records.
To help accentuate the point home, the band released a new original single, “Love That’ll Never Be,” from their 2024 Light Em Up album. This song is a strategic transition for fans anticipating the blues covers album. When these five seasoned, high-caliber musicians, John Corabi [vocals], David Lowy [guitar], Doug Aldrich [guitar], Michael Devin [bass], and Tommy Clufetos [drums], come together to create an album, the result is nothing short of explosive and memorable.
“Love That’ll Never Be” is a song that oscillates between rock, blues, and southern rock in the vein of The Allman Brothers, while the Lookin’ For Trouble album is an electrifying foray into the heart and soul of the blues that pays homage to the trailblazers while boldly pushing the genre into uncharted sonic territory. The reimagined blues classics deliver enough firepower to burn down your fucking barn! The album was conceived in March 2024 during sessions for Light Em Up in Nashville, when the band relocated to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to complete Lookin’ For Trouble at the iconic FAME Studios. The lead single, “Crossroads,” sets the stage for an album packed with searing guitar riffs, thunderous rhythms, and vocals that drip with grit and swagger.
