Joanne Shaw Taylor announces new album 'Reckless Heart'

Featuring 11 new songs and produced by Al Sutton (Greta Van Fleet/Kid Rock), ‘Reckless Heart’ was recorded over the summer at Rust Belt Studios in Michigan.

Available to pre-order right here, ‘Reckless Heart’ is available to buy on CD, double LP and digital formats. There are also signed CDs, signed vinyls and t-shirts from Joanne’s official online store.  

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".

In support of the record, Joanne will play a series of headline shows in February and March 2019 with the exact dates being unveiled very soon.
