And it only took a worldwide pandemic, a near-fatal bout with Leukemia, and the death of their mentor to make it happen... In summer 2022, the foursome reconvened for the first time in decades at Kitten Robot Studios in Los Angeles with producer Paul Roessler (The Screamers, 45 Grave, Nina Hagen) to make Driving South, which mixes doses of The Rolling Stones and Tom Petty with dashes of The Black Crowes and Stevie Ray Vaughan. The band ripped through the entire album over a few weeks, finally tracking fan favorites like “Baby Where’d You Stay Last Night” and “Supernatural Monkey Child,” alongside brand new song “Black Magic.” Driving South also salutes Highway 61 mentor Alan Mirikitani, a.k.a. blues guitar master BB Chung King, who sadly passed away in 2015. “Walk on Water” and “Breath Away” feature unreleased solos Mirikitani recorded with the band in 1992. In an incredibly emotional reunion, “Walk on Water” also features Mirikitani’s daughter Alana Mirikitani on backing vocals joining the two artists on an album for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks: 1 Walk On Water 2 Bad Day 3 Baby Where'd You Stay Last Night 4 Black Magic 5 Midnight Train 6 Breath Away 7 Stranger 8 Downtown Girl 9 Supernatural Monkey Child 10 Breathe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title='Highway 61 - \"Stranger\" - (Official Music Video)' src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/33COEkOkwUI\" height=\"375\" width=\"711\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rum Bar Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42576710238364,"sku":"RUM154CD","price":14.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/Highway61-DrivingSouth.jpg?v=1690214596","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/highway-61-driving-south-cd","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
