Joe Bonamassa has released “Tattoo’d Lady (Live),” the latest single from his upcoming live album and concert film The Spirit Of Rory Live From Cork, due out June 19 via J&R Adventures. The performance was recorded during a series of sold-out shows in Cork, Ireland, as part of Bonamassa’s tribute to the late Rory Gallagher.

Originally appearing on Gallagher’s 1973 album Tattoo, “Tattoo’d Lady” is one of his defining early songs, reflecting life on the road through vivid storytelling and a loose, driving groove. Bonamassa’s live version stays true to the spirit of the original, leaning into the song’s narrative and energy while capturing the strong connection between the Cork audience and Gallagher’s legacy.

The Spirit Of Rory Live From Cork features 14 tracks spanning Gallagher’s catalog, including “Walk On Hot Coals,” “Bullfrog Blues,” and “A Million Miles Away,” the latter serving as the album’s focus track upon release. The project was recorded over a three-night run that expanded from an initial single tribute show into a larger event due to overwhelming demand.

In addition to the release of “Tattoo’d Lady,” Bonamassa has released “I Fall Apart” as a single.

The release will be available in multiple formats, including digital, CD/DVD, CD/Blu-ray, and double 180-gram vinyl. The DVD and Blu-ray editions will also include bonus content such as The Inspiration of Rory, featuring a conversation with Brian May and Slash, along with additional behind-the-scenes footage.

Faith, the latest album from NYC ambient electronic trio Purelink, was one of the best records anyone released last year, and this week they released a couple more incredible tracks. For “Barrons Hotel (I, To, Thee.)” and “Yellow Bones,” the group teamed up with Rainy Miller, an artful young British singer-songwriter whose atmospheric, post-Blonde aesthetic…

It’s been a little more than a month since Spirit Adrift played what was supposed to be their final show ever. But thanks to Nate Garrett being one of the good guys in metal, that plan has been tossed to the wayside to help some fellow musicians in need, as the band is replacing Fulci on the Decibel Tour.

Through some unforeseen circumstances regarding visa processing issues here in the U.S., the Italian death metal band couldn’t make it to the states for the Decibel Tour. With the potential vacancy causing some major headaches for the tour’s organizers, Garrett opted to help out and hop on the bill with Spirit Adrift, giving fans one last chance to catch them live amidst a killer tour of death metal acts.

“We were sorry to hear that our friends in Fulci are unable to make it to the States for the Decibel tour. But we’re honored to step in on short notice and make this happen. Since we announced the end of Spirit Adrift, a lot of y’all have been clamoring for a farewell tour, so here you go. Decibel Magazine has always been so supportive of Spirit Adrift, so this was an offer we simply could not refuse.

“We’re psyched to be the black sheep of the tour, old school doom/heavy metal smack in the middle of a powerhouse lineup of incredible death metal bands. We’ll be playing songs from our new (and final) album Infinite Illumination, as well as highlights of the back catalog. Hopefully we’ll see some of you long time Spirit Adrift fans out there, and maybe we can even win over the more extreme metal fans. We’ll definitely be breaking our necks to ‘Slit Your Guts’ with y’all every night. Can’t wait!”

Though it’s not exactly how Garrett drew up the end of Spirit Adrift, it’s a fortuitous turn of events. Not only does it ensure that the tour’s lineup is full of killer bands, but it’s also a chance for Spirit Adrift to properly say goodbye to fans while supporting their final album Infinite Illumination.

Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman and cold brew innovator Anthony Kiedis has a long history of dating women much, much younger than him. He’s been doing that ever since he was young. At 24, for instance, Kiedis was involved with the 16-year-old movie star Ione Skye, and his 2004 memoir Scar Tissue is full of disturbing stories like that. Today, Kiedis is 63 years old. His current girlfriend is at least an adult, but she’s less than half of his age. She’s writing about it, too.

Ghost Hounds have released a new A-side/B-side single pairing featuring a cover of Gimme Shelter and the original track “Justified.” Proceeds from the release will benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Both songs feature vocalist Chanel Haynes, known for her performances with The Rolling Stones, including their 2024 U.S. Hackney Diamonds tour. Haynes also portrayed Tina Turner in the musical Tina. Her performance adds a new dimension to the band’s version of the classic track.

The release coincides with the 57th anniversary of “Gimme Shelter,” originally written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and released in 1969. Ghost Hounds guitarist and producer Thomas Tull recorded the track using original gear from Sunset Sound Recorders, where Merry Clayton delivered the iconic backing vocals on the original recording.

Haynes spoke about working with the band, saying, “The Ghost Hounds are part of my family now. When we do that song together, it’s just really exciting. I just feel really blessed to be able to share the stage with them.”

She also reflected on performing the song with The Rolling Stones and speaking with Clayton beforehand. “Them choosing me to expose me and take me on this stage with them is one of the most generous things,” Haynes said. “It’s the most physically difficult [song]. It’s almost like you teleport. It’s such an extraordinary song that Keith and Mick created together. She just encouraged me and said, ‘You know what? I want you to sing this song the way you want to sing it, because the church is in you.’ She’s a pastor’s daughter—as am I—and she basically was saying, ‘Trust the compass, trust that compass in you,’” Haynes said. “I took that with me, and every night on stage, I was just Chanel, my most authentic, honest self.”

Ghost Hounds vocalist SAVNT added, “This release is incredibly special to us. ‘Gimme Shelter’ is one of the most powerful songs ever written, and being able to honor its legacy while collaborating with Chanel Haynes—whose voice is simply phenomenal and evocative of Merry’s rasp and uncontainable energy.”

The B-side, “Justified,” was written by Tull and highlights the band’s blend of country, rock, and roots influences. The song centers on internal conflict, with SAVNT explaining, “He’s having this internal battle within himself of, like, ‘I did the right thing, but it still feels wrong.’ That’s a war within everybody.”

Ghost Hounds recently released their fifth studio album, Almost Home, which features guest appearances from Lainey Wilson and Patty Griffin. The band has continued to build momentum with appearances at SXSW and AmericanaFest, as well as a recent debut performance at the Grand Ole Opry.

The current lineup includes SAVNT, Thomas Tull, Tyler Chiarelli, Joe Munroe, Kristin Weber, Bennett Miller, and Sydney Driver. Known for their energetic live shows, Ghost Hounds have toured with artists including The Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, Bob Seger, and Garth Brooks.
