Rock icons Sammy Hagar and Joe Bonamassa have joined forces for a scorching new single, “Fortune Teller Blues,” now available on all major streaming platforms via Bonamassa’s J&R Adventures. The track blends Bonamassa’s fiery guitar riffs with Hagar’s distinctive vocals, delivering a high-energy blues anthem filled with tension and intrigue.
“Fortune Teller Blues” tells the tale of an eerie encounter with a cryptic fortune teller who hides the truth from the narrator, leaving him to grapple with what might be better left unknown. The song’s dark and moody atmosphere is accentuated by a pounding beat and Bonamassa’s searing guitar solos, while Hagar’s emotive performance injects a sense of urgency into the story.
Co-written by Bonamassa, Hagar, and producer Kevin Shirley (Iron Maiden, Journey), the song fuses classic blues traditions with a modern, intense energy. Shirley recalls the track’s creation, describing it as a raw, gritty blues anthem that channels the haunting spirit of New Orleans while capturing the raw emotion of Bonamassa’s guitar work and Hagar’s commanding delivery.
Hagar praised the final product, saying, “Holy shit, the thing came out good… the track is a monster!”
“Fortune Teller Blues” marks yet another milestone in Bonamassa’s remarkable career, following his recent fourth GRAMMY nomination for Blues Deluxe Vol. 2. With this new release, he continues to redefine the boundaries of blues music, all while staying true to its deep emotional roots.
