Summary:

Joanne Shaw Taylor could charm the birds from the trees with her new single 'Black & Gold', a cover of the version by Sam Sparro.

Acclaimed Blues-Rock guitarist and Singer-Songwriter Joanne Shaw Taylor unveils a new single on Journeyman Records, ‘Black & Gold’, a bold reimagining of Sam Sparro’s iconic pop hit. This soulful, Blues-Gospel rendition breathes new life into the song.

Joanne proclaims,”I always loved the desperation of the lyrics and thought it could make a Blues/Gospel song if performed differently.”

I think her version is a shimmering, almost shuffle like performance as her throaty vocals swoop and soar over her sumptuous guitar lines and her backing musicians play their part as they add earworm guitar lines and a watertight rhythm section.
