The Dead Daisies have once again demonstrated their prowess in bridging the past and present with their latest single, “Crossroads”. As the lead track from their forthcoming blues album, Lookin’ For Trouble, this rendition pays homage to Robert Johnson’s 1936 classic while infusing it with the band’s signature hard rock energy.
Recorded at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the track resonates with authenticity and reverence. The band’s lineup—John Corabi, David Lowy, Doug Aldrich, Michael Devin, and Sarah Tomek—delivers a performance that’s both electrifying and soulful. Corabi’s gritty vocals, combined with Aldrich’s searing guitar riffs and Tomek’s dynamic drumming, breathe new life into the storied blues number.
What sets this version apart is its ability to honor the original’s mystique while introducing a modern rock flair. The accompanying music video enhances this experience, offering viewers a glimpse into the recording process at FAME Studios, interspersed with visual nods to the song’s legendary backstory.
“Crossroads” stands as a testament to The Dead Daisies’ commitment to musical evolution. Their interpretation doesn’t merely replicate Johnson’s work; it reimagines it, making it accessible to a new generation of listeners while preserving its core essence. This release not only showcases their versatility but also sets the stage for what promises to be a compelling blues album.
