Orgy of the Damned | Slash

Description

Cover Notes: A great cover takes something old and makes it new again. This is the philosophy behind ‘Orgy of the Damned’, a collection of 12 dynamic songs that shakes up and revitalises blues classics with a stripped-down, instinctive approach. Working in a similar way to his 2010 self-titled solo LP ‘Slash’, which featured multiple guest vocalists, the acclaimed guitarist teams up with numerous musicians and singers to create a singular expression that pays homage to the blues. By celebrating both well-known and largely undiscovered songs, Slash offers a nostalgic nod to the past while reinvigorating the songs with his inimitable guitar playing and the spirit of collaboration. The blues-inspired album features iconic guests such as Chris Stapleton, Iggy Pop, Gary Clarke Jr. and Beth Hart. The songs covered include classics by blues heavyweights such as Muddy waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Steppen Wolf, Stevie Wonder, and more.
