When the opportunity came up to sing on Five Finger’s version, with both Kenny Wayne and Brian May of Queen, I jumped at the chance… Who wouldn’t?! It incorporates so many different musical perspectives, but our collaboration just works brilliantly.”Īnd Kenny Wayne Shepherd continues: "When Five Finger Death Punch approached me about teaming up with them to do a special version of Blue On Black, I was thrilled to do it. “It’s always a staple each night and one of my favourite songs to perform. “Blue on Black is a song my band and I have covered off and on for years… songs are certified timeless when you can come back to them,” adds Brantley Gilbert.
What better way to make a difference than to join forces with some of our friends in country, blues and classic rock who happen to be some of the biggest names in those genres and together celebrate these heroes." Yet they make a conscious choice to do so for the greater good. "These brave men and women leave their homes every morning not knowing if they’ll ever see their families again.
“To raise awareness for and support first responders is a cause that’s always been close to our hearts," explains Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory. The musicians have joined forces for a cover of the song Blue On Black, originally by the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, and released today (April 12) via Eleven Seven Music. To raise awareness for First Responders, Five Finger Death Punch have teamed up with Queen legend Brian May, as well as two of country and blues music's biggest names, Brantey Gilbert and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.
