Up-and-coming multinational blues rockers BLUES PILLS have released an instructional video lesson with their gifted French guitarist Dorian Sorriaux, who demonstrates how to play the new song “High Class Woman” off the band’s upcoming self-titled debut album, due out in North America on August 5th.

Artwork for BLUES PILLS’ debut album was created by world renowned Dutch artist Marijke Koger-Dunham (THE BEATLES, GEORGE HARRISON, ERIC CLAPTON). “She painted this sometime in the late ‘60s,” states the band. “For us, it is a representation of the balance of life, as shown in the symbolism of natural dualities such as darkness and light, sun and moon, life and death, etc. It shows how opposite forces are interconnected and complement each other to form a whole. Besides that, it just looks absolutely amazing!”
Blues Pills was produced by Don Alsterberg (GRAVEYARD, SOUNDTRACK OF OUR LIVES, THE INTERNATIONAL NOISE CONSPIRACY) and is the band’s follow-up to last year’s 4-song Devil Man EP.
The track listing for Blues Pills is:
01. High Class Woman
02. Ain't No Change
03. Jupiter
04. Black Smoke
05. River
06. No Hope Left For Me
07. Devil Man
08. Astralplane
09. Gypsy (CHUBBY CHECKER cover)
10. Little Sun
On their decision to cover CHUBBY CHECKER, the band states:
“It's a song everyone in the band liked and we used to play it on our soundcheck. Slowly it worked itself into our set list, and now it's going to be on our debut album as well. Back in the days, lots of bands covered each other to honor the other artist and they did it with their own touch on it. Some examples are JIMI HENDRIX 'All Along the Watchtower,' JANIS JOPLIN 'Tell Mama,‘ 'Summertime,' and 'Ball and Chain,' or JOE COCKER 'With A Little Help From My Friends.' Everyone was doing it with the right reason. For us, we want to honor CHUBBY CHECKER and also bring it back to life by doing the cover version the BLUES PILLS way. Hopefully people like both versions and, yeah, it's just a killer tune.“
BLUES PILLS will be performing throughout the open air festival circuit in Europe this summer.
