Welcome to Episode 236 Today we are joined by John Corabi from The Dead Daisies John stopped by to bring us up to date with all things The Dead Daisies and especially their new record “Lookin’ For Trouble” which comes out via Fame/Malaco Records.
Lookin’ For Trouble, The Dead Daisies’ first full-length blues album, was conceived in March 2024 during sessions for their upcoming rock album, Light ‘Em Up. After recording at Sienna Studios in Nashville, the band moved to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to complete the album at the iconic FAME Studios. The famous sign above the entryway reads: “Through these doors walk the finest Musicians, Songwriters, Artists, and Producers in the World.” This is as true today as it was in 1961. Since it first opened its doors, FAME has welcomed a literal who’s who of music royalty with legends like Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, and Etta James recording their classic hits there. Stepping into the same space the band – John Corabi, David Lowy, Doug Aldrich, Michael Devin, and drummer Sarah Tomek found themselves drawn into the deep musical legacy of the blues. After their rock sessions wrapped each night, they started jamming on blues classics for fun.
Producer Marti Frederiksen quickly recognised the magic happening and pressed record. What started as impromptu late-night sessions evolved into Lookin’ For Trouble, an album that crackles with the raw energy and rebellious spirit that made blues the foundation of rock ‘n’ roll. “The blues had many names back in the day, and they all had unwarranted negative connotations,” says Corabi. The title Lookin’ For Trouble nods to this history – an era when blues was called ‘the Devil’s Music,’ feared for its themes of rebellion, hardship, and sensuality.
For over a decade, The Dead Daisies have been captivating audiences with their soulful, blues infused ’70s rock. The band will be hitting the road again in 2025 on their European March Tour and showcase a couple of blues songs from their upcoming album. We also touch on some potential Australian Tour Dates which is exciting as the band have not been here in 10 years.
