Guitarist Aaron Keylock has revealed details of his debut solo album.
It’ll be titled Cut Against The Grain and will be released on January 20 via Provogue/Mascot Label Group.
Last month, Keylock released a stream of his new single Against The Grain – and he’s now issued a lyric video for the track, which features on the Fabrizio Grossi-produced album. Watch it below.
Speaking of some of the tracks, Keylock says: “Just One Question was probably the first song I ever wrote when I was 13. Musically and lyrically it was just a blues song and it’s funny to think it’s still with me and that I’ve been playing it for almost five years.
“Against The Grain was penned about three years ago now and has grown on the road. I had a Led Zeppelin style riff, mixed it with some Johnny Winter vibe and stamped my own style on it.”
He adds: “I guess what I’ve always loved about rock’n’roll is that you’re free to express yourself in many ways and to use many guitar techniques to convey different emotions. My influences really vary.”
Keylock will head out on tour later this week on a run of shows with Wilko Johnson and Joanne Shaw Taylor, along with further dates with Simo and Federal Charm.
