In his first album to dive deep into the blues, Marc Broussard's S.O.S.4: Blues For Your Soul officially debuts at #1 on the Billboard Blues Albums Chart. The impressive album also reigned at #1 on the iTunes Blues Chart. The latest effort underscores the Louisiana renowned vocalist's love of the blues and first-time collaboration with modern blues icon Joe Bonamassa, who produced and contributed sizzling guitar solos on various tracks alongside longtime collaborator Josh Smith. S.O.S. 4: Blues for Your Soul is the fourth edition of Broussard's ongoing philanthropic (Save Our Soul) album series, released via Bonamassa's Keeping the Blues Alive Records. Broussard stated, "They say there's a first time for everything, but I never expected this. We had a blast making this record, and thank you all for your support!"
On S.O.S. 4: Blues For Your Soul, Broussard embraces and delivers compelling renditions of blues and soul classics from such legends as Little Milton's "That's What Love Will Make You Do," Bobby 'Blue' Bland's "I've Got to Use My Imagination," Son House's "Empire State Express," Al Green's "Driving Wheel," Johnny "Guitar" Watson's "Cuttin' In," to Howlin' Wolf's "I Asked for Water" and the sole Broussard original, co-written with Josh Smith and Calvin Turner, "When Will I Let Her Go." Produced by Bonamassa and Josh Smith with executive producer Roy Weisman, Marc Broussard has achieved something with all the elements of a classic alb m. With special guests like Bonamassa, Smith, Roddie Romero, Bobby Junior, JJ Grey, Eric Krasno, and old pal Calvin Turner, it is a gathering of an esteemed musical tribe.
A portion of proceeds from this Save Our Soul Album will be donated to Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation to support youth rehabilitation through music. This includes a partnership with Guitars Over Guns, a Miami-based nonprofit that offers students from the most vulnerable communities a powerful combination of music education and mentorship.
