Joanne Shaw Taylor adds Scottish dates to March 2019 Reckless Heart tour
Joanne Shaw Taylor has added two extra shows to her upcoming March 2019 UK tour.
In addition to her previously announces gigs in England and Wales, Joanne will now also play Edinburgh Queens Hall on Tuesday 26th March and Glasgow SWG3 on Wednesday 27th March.
Ticket to all shows are on sale from Planet Rock Tickets now.
The 10 concerts follow the Friday 9th February release of Joanne’s sixth studio album ‘Reckless Heart’ via her new label home of Silvertone Records / Sony.
Boasting 11 new compositions, the album was produced by Al Sutton (Greta Van Fleet/Kid Rock) and recorded over the summer at Rust Belt Studios in Michigan.
Joanne says of the record: "I decided for this album I wanted to go further back to my roots. A large part of that was my decision to work with Al Sutton. Al’s been a good friend of mine since I moved to Detroit in 2008 and I’ve always been a big fan of his work with the Detroit Cobras, Thornetta Davis and most recently Greta Van Fleet.
“Working together was something we’d always discussed and in particular that he’d like to hear me do something more raw and live. Therefore, I wrote with that in mind: 15 or so original tracks as well as one song I’d written in Nashville with James House whom I wrote most of Wild with.
“I tried to keep the subject matter as honest as possible. I just wrote about things I’ve been through in the last two years since we recorded Wild, as I always think I perform the best when it’s something I really feel. Then we cut them all live.
“The other main reason for recording in Detroit was the calibre of musicians in that town, and we were lucky enough to score some of the best in Ron Otis, James Simonson, Phil Hale and Chris Codish.
“I couldn’t be happier with it; we managed to incorporate my love of soul, blues and rock into the album and I think it’s probably my most honest work to date. I just hope my fans enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.”
