The Black Crowes offshoot The Magpie Salute are streaming “For The Wind” as the latest single to the August 10 release of their debut studio album, “High Water I.”
"'For The Wind' is a song that took a long way around to come to fruition,” explains guitarist Rich Robinson. “I wrote it years ago and it took the right band to do it justice. Now it has a great home with Magpie."
"It's like this person can see that every terrible thing in his world has been reversed, defeated and left behind,” adds vocalist John Hogg. “It's not hopeful or expectant, it's more than that... a full-on realization described by one of the victors."
“For The Wind” follows the lead track, "Send Me An Omen”, as the latest preview to “High Water I”, which was produced by Robinson and recorded at Dark Horse Studios in Nashville, TN.
Formed in 2016, The Magpie Salute features Robinson alongside former Crowes bandmates Marc Ford and Sven Pipien, and vocalist John Hogg, keyboardist Matt Slocum and drummer Joe Magistro.
The Magpie Salute are currently on the road with dates booked into early fall that will see the band mix headline appearances with an opening slot on the Gov’t Mule US tour.
