Robert Jon & The Wreck Debut New Single ‘Help Yourself’
Southern rock titans Robert Jon & The Wreck have released their latest single “Help Yourself,” adding a new chapter to their expanding legacy in the music world. Available now on all digital platforms, “Help Yourself” is a mellow, rollicking country/rock-leaning track that speaks of love as a healing force. With its classic sound, the song evokes the spirit of a range of both classic and modern artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers Band, and Zac Brown Band, blending the nostalgic essence of Southern rock with a contemporary touch.
“Help Yourself’ is a song about the importance of self-help and taking care of yourself,” comments frontman Robert Jon. “It’s hard to help others unless you help yourself and take care of yourself first.”
A nod to the 70s TV sitcom “Three’s Company”, Robert Jon & The Wreck’s new video is packed with a light and goofy heart, capturing the vibe of the vintage show. The band infuses this tune with some of their earlier sounds, complete with Robert Jon’s vocals that are bright, clear and rich with ear-pleasing tone. Nice piano, guitar and a tight rhythm section serve up this positive and thoughtful tune. Robert Jon & The Wreck are quickly becoming the multifaceted rock & roll band on top of everyone’s best lists.
“Help Yourself” is the third single from the Wreck’s forthcoming 2024 studio album, released on Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records.

The release of “Help Yourself” follows the success of their earlier singles, including “Hold On,” a heartfelt portrayal of the touring life’s challenges and high energy rock and roll anthem “Stone Cold Killer”. This single, like their previous work, has been praised for its emotional depth and compelling musicality. In addition to the release of their new studio album Ride Into The Light, this year also saw RJTW release their first-ever concert film, Live At The Ancienne Belgique, which dropped in April. Recorded during their sold-out show at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium on June 29th, 2022, the live CD/DVD set captures the Wreck amid their longest-ever tour – 67 performances in 75 days across 9 countries.
Prolific songwriters with a wealth of new material who refuse to be constrained by traditional release strategies, the band’s new partnership with Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records affords them the opportunity to work with the world’s top producers and release a steady stream of high-quality singles on an ongoing basis, cutting through the industry chaos and ensuring new music is accessible to fans as intended.
