Joe Bonamassa has released a studio video to accompany his new single King Bee Shakedown.

The track will feature on the guitarist and vocalist’s upcoming album Redemption, which will launch on September 21 via Provogue/Mascot Label Group in Europe and through J&R Adventures in North America.

Although taken from the new album, fans who have seen Bonamassa live throughout 2018 will be familiar with the track – as it opened the set on many of his live shows.

Check out the video below.

Redemption is described as Bonamassa’s “most ambitious and diverse” album to date, and was helmed by producer Kevin Shirley.

It features a number of musicians and vocalists, including Anton Fig, Michael Rhodes, Reese Wynans, Lee Thornburg, Paulie Cerra, Gary Pinto, Mahalia Barnes, Jade McRae, Juanita Tippins, Kenny Greenberg and Doug Lancio.

Bonamassa said: “I’m going through some other stuff in my life I didn’t expect to be going through. It’s a rising, it’s contrition, it’s acceptance, it’s everything. It’s painful, but knowing that there’s a rising coming.

“I really feel the new material is deeper, lyrically and musically. We try to get a little deeper every time we come out.”

Bonamassa previously revealed the title track and will tour across Europe later this year. He'll also play a trio of shows at London's Royal Albert Hall next April.
