Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Marc Broussard unveils two new singles, “Going Home” and “Trying To Do Right,” offering a deeper look into his anticipated forthcoming album, Chance Worth Taking—his first collection of all-original blues and soul songs—arriving April 17 on Joe Bonamassa’s KTBA Records.
The double single, “I’m Going Home” / “Trying To Do Right,” out today, features the masterful fretwork of Joe Bonamassa, which perfectly complements Broussard’s signature vocal grit and emotive songwriting, further defining the renowned soul singer’s latest artistic chapter. Stream the new tracks HERE.
“Going Home” builds on an infectious, steady groove and a lush, horn-infused arrangement driven by Bonamassa’s searing guitar riffs. The song takes flight on Broussard’s expressive vocals, creating a powerful, emphatic sound that mirrors the deep emotional stakes of his lyrics.

“‘I’m Going Home’ is one of those songs that speaks to my undying love for my beautiful wife,” Broussard explains. “I’d die without her. I wouldn’t even have the will to continue living. Joe played his butt off at every turn, which probably speaks to his love affair with the guitar.”
The slow-burning blues ballad “Trying To Do Right” opens with Bonamassa’s commanding guitar, setting a reflective tone. Broussard’s stirring vocals blend feeling and finesse, culminating in a confessional chorus. This delivery highlights the heartfelt sentiment pervading the song, while Bonamassa’s riveting guitar provides a rich, atmospheric weight throughout.
“‘Trying To Do Right’ came in a flurry,” Broussard recalls. “I had to harken back to the earliest days of my relationship with my wife. I wasn’t always a good boyfriend—in fact, I was a terrible one in those early days. The regret is somewhat softened by the knowledge that I can draw on those memories for inspiration in my writing. Thanks to Joe for providing the added emotional emphasis.”
Both songs were co-written by Broussard and Calvin Turner, with the recording beginning when Turner sent him the instrumentals. Broussard explains, “These songs were both part of the initial batch Calvin and I wrote, which came together over 3 days in a bit of a writing frenzy. Calvin came up with the hook and arrangement for ‘Right,’ and like a good hunting dog, once I’m onto a scent, I’m gonna find it. I was a madman who couldn’t resist the pull of the writer’s room from sunup to sundown.”
Chance Worth Taking, produced by blues heavyweights Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith alongside Calvin Turner, is a 14-track collection that includes the album’s dynamic lead singles “Fever” and “No More.” The album reunites Broussard with Bonamassa, who contributes guitar work across 10 tracks, including three co-writes, while Josh Smith and Calvin Turner round out a formidable creative team. The album arrives April 17 on KTBA Records. Pre-order the album HERE.
