Robert Jon & The Wreck are back and ready to tear up the UK and Europe all over again with their new record, Shine A Light On Me Brother. The impressive new album, written and recorded during the COVID pandemic, and self-produced by Robert Jon & The Wreck, will be released on Friday September 3, 2021.
The title track Shine A Light On Me Brother, is released today Friday June 25th. Pre-save the single on Spotify and pre-order the album from https://ffm.to/rjtwshine.
As you can see, Shine A Light On Me Brother is another fantastic example of the way Robert Jon and the Wreck are able to draw together myriad threads from boogie-woogie, gospel, blues and soul into a coherent whole that is both joyful and wonderfully exciting. Reminiscent of the Blues Brothers at their life-affirming best, the single comes packaged with a video that shows the band having a hell of a time tearing through the song. It may pale in comparison to the seeing the band in the flesh, but if you’re not throwing fistfuls of money at the pre-order link listed above, you may clinically be dead.
Check out the video here:
Robert Jon & The Wreck is comprised of Robert Jon Burrison (lead vocals, guitar), Andrew Espantman (drums, b. vocals), Steve Maggiora (keyboards, b. vocals), Henry James (lead guitar, b. vocals), and Warren Murrel (bass, b. vocals).
