Across ten powerhouse tracks, Lookin’ for Trouble breathes new life into legendary songs, with The Dead Daisies putting their own stamp on each one. The band’s high-voltage take on Robert Johnson’s “Crossroads”—the song that gave rise to blues mythology—kicked off the album rollout with a scorching tribute to the Delta blues legend; the band’s rendition has already been met with praise, with Raised by Cassettes calling it “a high-energy, soul-drenched performance that bridges past and present.” Elsewhere on the album, the band tears through “Going Down,” “Boom Boom” and “Black Betty”, putting their own hard-hitting spin on these blues staples. The setlist also includes smoldering renditions of “Born Under a Bad Sign,” “Sweet Home Chicago” and “The Thrill Is Gone”, each one injected with The Dead Daisies’ signature grit and intensity. At its core, Lookin’ for Trouble is a testament to the enduring power of the blues. The band approached the album with a deep respect for the genre’s origins, recording the songs live to capture the spontaneity and emotion that make blues so timeless. “The Blues had many names back in the day and they all had unwarranted negative connotations,” says John Corabi. “But considering the influence the Blues have had on EVERY genre of music we listen to, with the exception of Classical, I would refer to it as ‘The Soul’ of music today!!!” Guitarist Doug Aldrich adds, “Lookin’ for Trouble is a cool fresh take on some Blues that we love. We put a new spin on the tunes and it came out really awesome! We did the whole thing at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals Alabama. It was incredible to record in such hallowed Blues ground!” For over a decade, The Dead Daisies have built a reputation for their no-holds-barred approach to rock, sharing stages with KISS, Guns N’ Roses, Scorpions, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, ZZ Top, Foreigner, Judas Priest, and the Hollywood Vampires.
