Aaron Keylock has released a stream of his new single Against The Grain with TeamRock.
The track will be issued on 7-inch vinyl on October 6 via Mascot Records to coincide with the guitar sensation’s UK tour with Wilko Johnson, Joanne Shaw Taylor, along with further dates with Simo and Federal Charm.
Keylock’s been working on his debut solo album with Fabrizio Grossi at the Supersonic Blues Machine man’s Sounds Of Pisces studio in Santa Clarita, California.
And while no release date has been set, he talked to TeamRock earlier this year about the album – and highlighted his new track.
He said: “We’ve got about 14 songs we’re working on before we pick the final ones, but Medicine Man is definitely on there. There’s Spin The Bottle, which has a laid-back Exile On Main St kinda vibe. That’s about being young and getting into music, just taking a risk and going for it.
“Down is about people trying to knock you down – not necessarily in music, just in life. People trying to tell you how to be, how to live, what to say. That song is just about keeping a belief in who you are.
“Then there’s Against The Grain, which is a Johnny Winter slide-riffy kinda thing. That song is my life story, really, about going against the grain to normal people my age.”
Keylock’s live commitments will get under way next month.
