Marc Broussard has released two new singles, “I’m Going Home” and “Trying To Do Right,” offering a preview of his upcoming album Chance Worth Taking, due out April 17 on Joe Bonamassa’s KTBA Records. The project marks Broussard’s first full collection of all-original blues and soul material.
The new tracks feature prominent guitar work from Joe Bonamassa, whose playing complements Broussard’s signature vocal style and songwriting. “I’m Going Home” is built around a steady groove and horn-driven arrangement, with Bonamassa delivering searing riffs throughout the track.
“’I’m Going Home’ is one of those songs that speaks to my undying love for my beautiful wife,” Broussard explains. “I’d die without her. I wouldn’t even have the will to continue living. Joe played his butt off at every turn, which probably speaks to his love affair with the guitar.”
The second single, “Trying To Do Right,” takes a more reflective approach. The slow-burning blues ballad opens with Bonamassa’s guitar and builds into an emotional, confessional chorus driven by Broussard’s vocals.
“’Trying To Do Right’ came in a flurry,” Broussard recalls. “I had to harken back to the earliest days of my relationship with my wife. I wasn’t always a good boyfriend—in fact, I was a terrible one in those early days. The regret is somewhat softened by the knowledge that I can draw on those memories for inspiration in my writing. Thanks to Joe for providing the added emotional emphasis.”
Both songs were co-written by Broussard and Calvin Turner, with the writing sessions taking shape quickly.
“These songs were both part of the initial batch Calvin and I wrote, which came together over 3 days in a bit of a writing frenzy. Calvin came up with the hook and arrangement for ‘Right,’ and like a good hunting dog, once I’m onto a scent, I’m gonna find it. I was a madman who couldn’t resist the pull of the writer’s room from sunup to sundown.”
Produced by Bonamassa, Josh Smith, and Turner, Chance Worth Taking is a 14-track album that also includes previously released singles “Fever” and “No More.” Bonamassa contributes guitar to 10 tracks, including three co-writes, while Smith and Turner also play key roles in the album’s songwriting and arrangements.
Broussard is currently touring Europe and will launch a U.S. run in April, including festival appearances and headlining dates across the country.
