Slash has unveiled the latest single from his upcoming blues album, Orgy of the Damned, set to arrive on May 17th. The Guns N’ Roses guitarist teams up with country superstar Chris Stapleton on a cover of Fleetwood’s Mac’s “Oh Well.”
The freewheeling guitar playing from Slash and the raspy vocal delivery from Stapleton add a gritty vibe to Fleetwood Mac’s original 1969 song, a bluesy garage number that was penned and sung by singer-guitarist Peter Green.
Slash said of the song in a press release, “So, this is the original Fleetwood Mac, which was founded by Peter Green, one of the greatest singer-songwriter-guitar players, he’s less known in the public, but very well known to us guitar players re the 60s British blues and he’s up there with Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Nick Taylor. He sort of had a misadventure with drugs and disappeared early in his career, but he had some great fucking songs and ‘Oh Well’ is one of my favorites.”
He added, “I knew from the beginning I wanted to do the song on this record. It was also one of the songs that I was trying to figure out who would be the right vocalist for it, and one of the ideas I had was Chris Stapleton, who is one of the most brilliant singer songwriters today. He’s also got such a gritty and distinctive voice, so I called him up and he did an amazing job. I mean, his voice is so cool.”
“Oh Well” follows previous single “Killing Floor,” which features AC/DC’s Brian Johnson on vocals and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler on harmonica.
Other guests on the album, which primarily consists of covers of classic blues songs, include Iggy Pop, Demi Lovato, Paul Rodgers, Gary Clark Jr., Billy Gibbons, and more.
In support of the new album, Slash will embark on the traveling S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival, which will see the the guitar legend hit the road with Warren Haynes Band, Keb’ ‘Mo, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Robert Randolph, Samantha Fish, Eric Gales, ZZ Ward, Jackie Venson, and Larkin Poe.
The outing kicks off July 5th in Bonner, Montana, and runs through an August 17th show in Grand Prairie, Texas, with tickets available here.
