Joe Bonamassa has released The Spirit Of Rory: Live From Cork, a new live album and concert film celebrating the music and legacy of Irish blues-rock icon Rory Gallagher.

Available now via J&R Adventures, the project captures Bonamassa’s sold-out tribute performances in Cork, Ireland, Gallagher’s hometown and a city where his influence remains deeply ingrained in the local culture. Alongside the release, Bonamassa has unveiled a live performance video for “A Million Miles Away (Live),” one of the album’s standout moments.

Recorded with the blessing of Gallagher’s family, The Spirit Of Rory: Live From Cork documents what began as a tribute concert before expanding into a three-night sold-out run. A longtime admirer of Gallagher, Bonamassa approached the project with respect for the late guitarist’s legacy while bringing his own voice and style to the performances.

Gallagher remains one of Ireland’s most celebrated musicians. His blend of electric blues, hard rock, Celtic influences, and fearless improvisation inspired generations of guitarists and helped establish him as one of the most influential players in blues-rock history.

At the center of the release is “A Million Miles Away,” originally featured on Gallagher’s 1973 album Tattoo and later immortalized through the guitarist’s legendary live performances. The song’s themes of loneliness and longing have made it one of the most beloved entries in Gallagher’s catalog.

The project includes several historically significant moments, including Bonamassa’s performance of “As The Crow Flies” using Gallagher’s own 1930 National Triolian resonator guitar, which was loaned by the Cork Public Museum. The DVD and Blu-ray editions also feature bonus content, including The Inspiration of Rory, featuring conversations with Brian May and Slash, as well as Rory’s Acoustic Guitar and Ballycotton – A Million Miles Away.

Across 14 songs, The Spirit Of Rory: Live From Cork explores the breadth of Gallagher’s catalog, from fan favorites such as “Walk On Hot Coals,” “Bullfrog Blues,” and “Bad Penny” to emotional performances of “Tattoo’d Lady,” “I Fall Apart,” and “A Million Miles Away.” The setlist also draws inspiration from the spirit of Gallagher’s legendary Irish Tour ’74 era, which introduced many fans, including Bonamassa, to Gallagher’s electrifying live performances.

What started as a single tribute concert ultimately became one of the most meaningful experiences of Bonamassa’s career, with fans traveling from around the world to celebrate Gallagher’s music in the guitarist’s hometown.

“What you hear on these recordings is our best effort to pay tribute to Rory Gallagher, a man I never met, but admire so deeply. His music is part of me and I’m grateful that we were able to contribute in some small way to his ongoing legacy.”

It’s such a great feeling to hit play on a Bandcamp record from a band you’ve never heard of and to know, within 30 seconds, that you’re hearing something good. This morning, I got that feeling right away from the new two-song single by the Richmond, Virginia band Canaries. As someone who lives near Richmond, I feel like I should’ve already known about this band, but no, this is a Scott Lapatine discovery. Scott, in the Stereogum editorial spreadsheet: “forgot why i followed but this is good.” He’s right! This is good!

Last summer John Robinson and Leela Hoehn went to see the impressive young Chicago noise-rock trio Lifeguard at the Masquerade in Atlanta. It was an incredible show, but the bracing quality of the band’s performance left Robinson feeling bummed. If these kids are this young and are already that good, he reasoned, what hope is there for a guy starting fresh in his forties? “It’s over for me,” he remembers thinking to himself.

Jovin Webb has announced the release of his sophomore album, Son of a Sinner, which is set to arrive September 18 via Blind Pig Records. Produced by Grammy winner Tom Hambridge and recorded in Nashville, the 11-track album will be available on crimson red vinyl, CD, and digital platforms.

Alongside the announcement, Webb has released the album’s lead single, “Pray for Me.” The track features swampy tremolo guitar, harmonica, and deeply personal lyrics that explore themes of temptation, addiction, faith, and redemption. The song reflects the central theme of the album, with Webb confronting personal struggles while searching for hope and forgiveness.

Son of a Sinner follows Webb’s debut album, Drifter, and continues to draw from his blend of blues, gospel, and Southern rock influences. According to the album announcement, the new record represents a deeper exploration of Webb’s life experiences, addressing personal shortcomings and the ongoing pursuit of redemption.

The album includes a variety of musical styles, ranging from the blues-rock energy of “Gunpowder & Lead” to the Southern rock ballad “After the Rain” and the funk-infused “These Boots.” Webb also puts his own spin on Delbert McClinton’s “Every Time I Roll the Dice” and revisits “Whipping Post,” a song he performed during his appearance on American Idol. His version begins with a stripped-down acoustic arrangement before building into a full-band performance.

Webb first gained national recognition in 2020 through his appearances on American Idol, where he earned praise from judges Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, and Katy Perry. Raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Webb developed his sound through years of performing across the Gulf Coast while drawing inspiration from gospel music, blues traditions, and Southern culture.

Following the release of Son of a Sinner, Webb is scheduled to perform dates across the United States and Europe.
