Ahead of releasing a deluxe edition of their self-titled debut, Black Pumas have shared a cover of Bobby Blue Bland's classic "Ain’t No Love In The Heart Of The City."
“It all happened organically,” guitarist-producer Adrian Quesada told Relix of the band’s origins. “A couple studio sessions in, [singer Eric Burton] started playing me his songs. I’d seen some videos of him, and I liked that he was playing guitar and singing. I thought, ‘It’s not like your typical soul or funk frontman.’ He had a vibe of someone like Neil Young. When we got about eight or nine songs into it, we were like, ‘OK, this is cohesive. Maybe we should make this an official thing.’”
The band also recently teamed up with Jack Johnson for a performance at this year’s Farm Aid: On The Road livestream.
The deluxe edition of Black Pumas drops on Oct. 9. Click here for more information.
