Robert Jon & The Wreck drop latest single ‘Back To The Beginning Again’
on the road last year,” explained guitarist Henry James. The song delves into deeper emotions of disappointment and sadness that arise while touring and working in the music industry. Featuring a sludgy, bluesy riff and a powerful Hammond organ solo by keyboardist Jake Abernathie, the track showcases the band’s introspective side and their signature confidence.
According to Henry, “As we become more involved in the business, the politics, and the hustle of this life, it can be challenging to feel connected to the original purity and excitement of making music that captivated us as kids and teenagers.” The lyrics of the song express a longing to return to that simplicity – a yearning to revisit the excitement and freshness of the early days of playing in bands. The result is a heartfelt reflection on mental health, purpose, and rediscovering the passion that initially sparked their love for music.
“Back To The Beginning Again” is the latest offering from the band since their well-received studio album “Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes.” Produced by Grammy-winner Dave Cobb and mixed by Greg Gordon, the album features ten tracks that capture the band’s raw live energy. Classic Rock Magazine praised the album for its combination of “soulful storytelling and sheer rock-and-roll firepower.”
