Driving South

Highway 61 is a Los Angeles-based blues-rock ‘n’ roll band whose debut album was recorded 30 years after the band broke up. And it only took a worldwide pandemic, a near-fatal bout with Leukemia, and the death of their mentor to make it happen... In summer 2022, the foursome reconvened for the first time in decades at Kitten Robot Studios in Los Angeles with producer Paul Roessler (The Screamers, 45 Grave, Nina Hagen) to make Driving South, which mixes doses of The Rolling Stones and Tom Petty with dashes of The Black Crowes and Stevie Ray Vaughan. The band ripped through the entire album over a few weeks, finally tracking fan favourites like “Baby Where’d You Stay Last Night” and “Supernatural Monkey Child,” alongside brand new song “Black Magic.”
