Joanne Shaw Taylor Releases New Single ‘Black Magic’
Just in time for the season and with a nod to Friday the 13th’s mystical charm, British blues-rock prodigy Joanne Shaw Taylor unveils her spellbinding new single “Black Magic,” a blues gem perfect for whimsical nights. Crafted alongside Kevin Shirley, the iconic producer, at the legendary RCA Studio A in Nashville, this new track is the fruit of a collaboration with stellar artists such as Rob McNelly, Doug Lancio, Alison Prestwood, Jimmy Wallace, and Anton Fig.
“I originally wrote the music for my album ‘Nobody’s Fool’ and intended for it to be an instrumental called ‘Butterbeer Blues,’” Joanne recalls. “But then, I decided to give it lyrics and transform it into a fun, traditional acoustic blues song. Hopefully I succeeded and you’ll enjoy the rootsy vibe!” The lyrics unfold a tale of entrancement, spellbinding love, and the mystique of attraction, all delicately wrapped in Joanne’s signature guitar brilliance.
“Black Magic” by blues rock sensation Joanne Shaw Taylor blasts off with some kind of groove and Joanne’s sultry vocal. With a gospel feel to the backing singers, piano magic graces this track as the stomping groove carries on. This is feel-good music and Joanne ushers her new single into Friday the 13th with a crackling rootsy gem.
Always one to push boundaries, Joanne’s union with Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records continues to flourish, ensuring that her music reaches her global fanbase, uncompromised and pure. This relationship, alongside her innate creativity, guarantees a stream of sensational releases that cut through the industry noise.

Joanne Shaw Taylor is an amazing artist and my favorite blues musician! We are seeing Joanne again on November 11th in Columbus, Ohio. Well worth the drive from the west side of Michigan! I ❤️ the blues and Joanne brings it!
Saw Joanne for the first time live and in person last Thursday. I have attended concerts for 50+ years , probably 300+ shows and Ms. Taylor absolutely blew me away. Her skills on the guitar are just plain amazing and the passion she exudes singing is intense. I have never seen a performer, outside of maybe Tab Benoit, appear to enjoy playing for the audience as much as she did. It was truly one of the most enjoyable concerts I have been to in my concert attending career. If you are a fan of the blues-rock genre, Joanne Shaw Taylor is a show you do not want to miss!
