Joe Bonamassa has shared a video for his new single Evil Mama.

It’s the latest track taken from the vocalist and guitarist’s upcoming album Redemption, which is set to arrive on September 21 via Provogue/Mascot Label Group in Europe and through J&R Adventures in North America.

Bonamassa previously revealed King Bee Shakedown (opens in new tab) and the title track (opens in new tab).

Redemption is described as Bonamassa’s “most ambitious and diverse” album to date, with the vocalist and guitarist adding: “I’m going through some other stuff in my life I didn’t expect to be going through. 

“It’s a rising, it’s contrition, it’s acceptance, it’s everything. It’s painful, but knowing that there’s a rising coming.

“I really feel the new material is deeper, lyrically and musically. We try to get a little deeper every time we come out.”

Bonamassa again hooked up with producer Kevin Shirley, with the record featuring a range of musicians and vocalists, including Anton Fig, Michael Rhodes, Reese Wynans, Lee Thornburg, Paulie Cerra, Gary Pinto, Mahalia Barnes, Jade McRae, Juanita Tippins, Kenny Greenberg and Doug Lancio.

Bonamassa will head out on tour across Europe from next month.
