Just in time for the season and with a nod to Friday the 13th’s mystical charm, British blues rock prodigy Joanne Shaw Taylor unveils her spellbinding new single ‘Black Magic’.
Crafted alongside producer Kevin Shirley, at the legendary RCA Studio A in Nashville, this new track is the fruit of a collaboration with stellar artists such as Rob McNelly, Doug Lancio, Alison Prestwood, Jimmy Wallace, and Anton Fig.
“I originally wrote the music for my album Nobody’s Fool and intended for it to be an instrumental called ‘Butterbeer Blues’,” the guitarist recalled. “But then, I decided to give it lyrics and transform it into a fun, traditional acoustic blues song. Hopefully I succeeded and you’ll enjoy the rootsy vibe!” The lyrics unfold a tale of entrancement, spellbinding love, and the mystique of attraction, all delicately wrapped in Joanne’s signature guitar sound.
Always one to push boundaries, Joanne Shaw Taylor’s union with Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records continues to flourish, ensuring that her music reaches her global fanbase, uncompromised and pure. This relationship, alongside her innate creativity, guarantees a stream of sensational releases that cut through the industry noise.
Discovered by Dave Stewartof The Eurythmics when she was a mere 16 years old and subsequently invited to tour the world, her rise to stardom, propelled by endorsements from music giants like Stevie Wonder and Annie Lennox.
With a discography boasting chart-toppers like Reckless Heart, The Blues Album, and most recently Nobody’s Fool, Taylor is even now readying her next studio album, alongside touring the USA.

Maintaining the quality of Nobody’s Fool, this is yet another catchy number, incessant tribal drumbeats joined halfway through by group female backing vocals and chants, while Taylor takes the lead vocally, while fans can savour a last rush of guitar during the song’s last minute or so.
