I wouldn’t even have the will to continue living. Joe played his butt off at every turn, which probably speaks to his love affair with the guitar.” The slow-burning blues ballad “Trying To Do Right” opens with Bonamassa’s commanding guitar, setting a reflective tone. Broussard’s stirring vocals blend feeling and finesse, culminating in a confessional chorus. This delivery highlights the heartfelt sentiment pervading the song, while Bonamassa’s riveting guitar provides a rich, atmospheric weight throughout. “‘Trying To Do Right’ came in a flurry,” Broussard recalls. “I had to harken back to the earliest days of my relationship with my wife. I wasn’t always a good boyfriend—in fact, I was a terrible one in those early days. The regret is somewhat softened by the knowledge that I can draw on those memories for inspiration in my writing. Thanks to Joe for providing the added emotional emphasis.” Both “I’m Going Home” and “Trying To Do Right” were co-written by Broussard and Calvin Turner, with the recording beginning when Turner sent him the instrumentals. Broussard explains, “These songs were both part of the initial batch Calvin and I wrote, which came together over 3 days in a bit of a writing frenzy. Calvin came up with the hook and arrangement for ‘Right,’ and like a good hunting dog, once I’m onto a scent, I’m gonna find it. I was a madman who couldn’t resist the pull of the writer’s room from sunup to sundown.” Chance Worth Taking, produced by blues heavyweights Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith alongside Calvin Turner, is a stunning 14-track collection that includes the album’s dynamic lead singles, “Fever” / “No More”. The album reunites Broussard with Bonamassa, who takes the helm to contribute mesmerizing guitar solos on 10 tracks, including three songs co-written with Broussard. This stellar creative circle is rounded out by Josh Smith, who features on and co-wrote four tracks, and Calvin Turner, who joined forces with Broussard to co-write 10 of the album’s original songs and contributes to the album’s lush string and horn arrangements. Chance Worth Taking is out April 17 on KTBA records. Pre-order the album HERE. Marc Broussard is currently on the European leg of his extensive international tour.
