Written by Johnson Stephen on February 23, 2021

Joanna Connor, best known as one of the reigning Queens of Blues Rock guitar, releases her latest single ‘Destination’ on the same day she releases her 14th album ‘4801 South Indiana Avenue’ on Joe Bonamassa’s new independent Blues Record label Keeping The Blues Alive on Friday 26th February 2021.

‘Destination’ is a raw and gritty Blues Rock cover of the Assassins classic. Stream the Single and Pre-Order the album from https://jbonamassa.com/albums/2021/joannaconnor/4801/

The new album, the follow up to her critically acclaimed studio album ‘Rise’ is produced by Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith at Ocean Way Studios, Nashville, Tennessee. Joanna and Joe and the rest of the musicians on the album dug deep, and in the process, conjured up an authentic, alive and kicking non-derivative set of Chicago Blues.

joanna connor new album Says Joanna ”We chose the album title ‘4801 South Indiana Avenue’ because it was the actual street address of the hallowed Funky Blues sanctuary ‘Theresa’s Lounge’. We want the listener to open that door, walk in and feel to their core some of the magic that a place like that brought night after night. It was an honour to bring this to you the listener.”

The new album reflects an entirely new experience from the way Joanna has recorded music in the past. ”This album is a homage to the Blues school that I attended in Chicago” says Joanna before adding ”We attempted to capture the spirit of tradition and inject it with raw energy and passion.”
