“The blues are alive and well…It’s artists like Sonny Gullage that are carrying the torch.” – WBGO Blues singer-songwriter and keyboardist Kevin “Sonny” Gullage has officially released his critically acclaimed full-length album, ‘Go Be Free,’ out now via Blind Pig Records, marking a significant milestone in his burgeoning career. This 12-song collection, produced by four-time GRAMMY winner and nine-time nominee Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Susan Tedeschi, Delbert McClinton), has been lauded by critics and fans alike as a dynamic fusion of traditional blues, gospel, and modern soundscapes. Following months of building excitement with standout singles like “Worried About the Young” and “Just Kiss Me, Baby,” Sonny now offers ‘Go Be Free’ as a full journey through his deeply rooted musical world. In conjunction with the album’s release, Sonny has also unveiled the tender R&B ballad “Separate Ways,” a soulful track that smolders with emotive pop hooks, bluesy guitar licks, and deeply felt lyrics about love on the brink of collapse. “Separate Ways” explores the vulnerability and heartache that come with the possibility of losing someone you love, with Sonny reflecting, “I don’t want to start a fight / Can we talk it over for a while.” The track’s rich instrumentation and poignant lyrics build a deeply intimate atmosphere that will resonate with anyone who has ever fought to save a relationship. Sonny says of the song, “‘Separate Ways’ is about those moments in a relationship where things feel like they’re falling apart, but you realize it’s worth fighting for. I wanted to capture that emotional turning point where you choose to hold on.” ‘Go Be Free’ showcases Sonny’s unique talent and deep musical roots, merging the sounds of New Orleans blues and boogie-woogie with contemporary influences. “The blues are alive and well…It’s artists like Sonny Gullage that are carrying the torch,” WBGO praised in a recent review. The album’s versatility shines through in tracks like the socially conscious “Worried About the Young,” featuring Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, and the album’s electrifying lead single and title track, “Go Be Free.” |
