Joanne Shaw Taylor rocks Nashville in the new video for ‘Wishing Well’. A cover of Free’s last single before disbanding, Shaw and her band bring heat to this classic track. Filmed on-site in The Low Volume Lounge at Jamie Rubin’s Eastside Bowl the video features the band performing on stage, sharing a pint and…Bowling! The guitar tones are massive, the bass rumbles and the drums thunder.
“I’ve been a massive Free fan since I was a teenager,” Joanne shares. “It’s a very hard band to cover because it doesn’t really need covering; it was already perfect in the first place. I was a little bit nervous about it because I put Free on a pedestal. But I enjoyed it. I look forward to the challenge of recreating it similar to the original and paying homage to that, but also doing it in my own sort of style.”
This is the first release following Shaw’s lauded ‘Heavy Soul’ album. She and the band will be touring the U.S. extensively in summer 2024.
