UK Rockers Jettblack have announced the August 19 release of a brand new album featuring a selection of hard-to-find, unreleased and re-worked material.
Titled ‘Black Gold’, the 13-track collection includes covers of three hard rock anthems (by Motorhead, Heart and AC/DC), a brand new song, Red Horizon, guest appearances from members of Deep Purple and Black Star Riders/Thin Lizzy and the new Jettblack single – a revised version of Black Gold.
Jettblack vocalist and guitarist Will Stapleton said: “We’re very happy to have a lot of our bonus material finally released on a physical format, but we didn’t want this album to be all about the past – which is why we recorded the three new tracks. We loved working on the Heart and Motorhead covers, but it was especially satisfying to get a version of Red Horizon down on tape. We’ve had this song since the ‘Raining Rock’ album, and you’ll hear the full version on JB studio album number three – the version here is acoustic, but I think it shows what a big song for us this will be.”
