Blues-rock virtuoso Joe Bonamassa and GRAMMY Award-winning band Train have collaborated on the release of a new single, a powerful cover of 38 Special’s classic Stateside hit ‘Hold On Loosely’.
This collaboration is the result of a shared passion for music and mutual admiration between the two artists. Train frontman Pat Monahan’s distinctive vocals harmonise perfectly with Bonamassa’s masterful guitar riffs, breathing new life into the iconic song. The collaboration came about organically, as both parties were eager to work together.
Reflecting on the project, Monahan said, “I’ve been a fan of Joe’s for a long time. He’s an incredible guitar player, and from my little bit of time with him, I can say he’s a great human. That, along with my love for 38 Special, this was a great project to be a part of. Thanks for thinking of me, Joe. Hope I did it justice.”
This collaboration also highlights the artists’ connection through their successful music festival cruises with Sixthman – Monahan’s Sail Across the Sun and Bonmassa’s Keeping The Blues Alive at Sea – further solidifying their bond and mutual respect in the music industry.
