Slash Feat. Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators have set “Flying Blind” as the title to their next studio album. Gibson Records will again be handling that release, which has been slated for February 26th. In addition to the album reveal, there’s a John Harvatine IV-directed music video for the title track to check out below, while a 2027 world tour has also just been rolled out.
Producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette oversaw the album sessions, most of which were captured live at Studio Barbarosa in Florida. Slash said of the record, “It’s a really fun, kind of spontaneous rock ’n’ roll record. It’s very straightforward and down-to-earth and raw.”
He went on to add of the title track:
“Created in the studio while we were standing there in pre-production, a riff came to me and started developing. I had nothing of that song prior to those guys coming in, and then we started up a night of rehearsal and played that riff. It came together really quickly. As for it being the first single, you never know what the first single is going to be until you’ve recorded it. When I started thinking about it, ‘Flying Blind’ just seemed to have the right kind of melodic sensibilities and a hook to make it single material.”
The album is set to offer up a few surprises too, including a talk box on “Good Time Girl“. “Looking For A Miracle” meanwhile finds Slash serving up his first song written and recorded on pedal steel.
