Leestijd: 3 minuten

De Amerikaanse gitaarlegende Slash, bekend van Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver, Slash Ft. Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators, brengt op vrijdag 17 mei zijn nieuwe album ‘Orgy Of The Damned’ uit bij platenlabel Gibson Records. Daarop staan covers van blues classics die hij eigenhandig heeft geselecteerd. Vandaag dropt Slash daarvan de tweede single ‘Oh Well‘.

De single ‘Oh Well’ is een cover van Fleetwood Mac, geschreven door zanger-gitarist Peter Alan Green, uit 1969. Slash’s cover wordt gezongen door singer-songwriter, gitarist en record producer Chris Stapleton. Hieronder staat de video ‘Oh Well’ van Slash en zijn bluesband, bestaande uit Johnny Griparic (bas), Teddy Andreadis (keyboards), Michael Jerome (drums) en Tash Neal (zang/gitaar).

Reactie Slash over deze single

Slash zegt over deze single: “So, this is the original Fleetwood Mac, which was founded by Peter Green, one of the greatest singer-songwriter-guitar players. he’s less known in the public, but very well known to us guitar players re the 60s British blues and he’s up there with Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Nick Taylor. He sort of had a misadventure with drugs and disappeared early in his career, but he had some great fucking songs and ‘Oh Well’ is one of my favorites. I remember hearing the song on the radio when I was probably 13, they used to play both the older version of Fleetwood Mac and the new version of the band with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham a lot.”

Hij vervolgt: “I always loved this song, and it’s a great guitar riff. I jammed it with the Blues Ball back in the ‘90s, and I’ve played it live here and there. I knew from the beginning I wanted to do the song on this record. It was also one of the songs that I was trying to figure out who would be the right vocalist for it, and one of the ideas I had was Chris Stapleton, who is one of the most brilliant singer songwriters today. He’s also got such a gritty and distinctive voice, so I called him up and he did an amazing job. I mean, his voice is so cool.”
