Robert Jon & The Wreck Announce Highly Anticipated New Album Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes, Produced by Icon Dave Cobb
New Single 'Highway' Out Now – Pre-Order the New Album Now, Releases on August 22nd via Bonamassa's Journeyman Records LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, April 4, 2025 / / -- Southern California rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck have officially announced the release of their ninth studio album, Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes, due out August 22nd via Journeyman Records. Produced by the legendary Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, Rival Sons), the new album finds the band firing on all cylinders—raw, reflective, and tighter than ever. Stream the single 'Highway' HERE. Watch the official music video for 'Highway' NOW. PREORDER the New Studio Album Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes. 'It was an incredible honor to collaborate with Dave Cobb on our new record,' shares frontman Robert Jon Burrison. 'Not only has he worked with artists we deeply admire, but he's also been a producer we've respected for over a decade. Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes feels like a true reflection of who Robert Jon & The Wreck is as a band. From the moment we arrived in Savannah, GA, to record, we felt an immediate sense of comfort and ease—something rare in a typical studio environment. Being away from our usual routines, living together, and immersing ourselves in the new songs from start to finish created an album we are incredibly proud of. We can't wait to share it with the world and bring it to life on stage.' Alongside the announcement, the band has shared their latest single, 'Highway,' a soaring, mid-tempo rocker that showcases everything fans have come to love about The Wreck: blistering twin guitar harmonies, emotionally charged vocals, and a driving rhythm section. Produced by Cobb and recorded in Savannah, 'Highway' blends the band's classic heartland sound with fresh, cinematic urgency. ''Highway' is a favorite of ours on Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes—a song that started as a loose melodic concept on an acoustic guitar in Henry's apartment, and evolved into a full-blown powerhouse,' adds Robert. 'When we brought it into rehearsals in Costa Mesa, it just clicked with the band. Dave Cobb helped us elevate the track by pushing the tempo and building out the dynamics. Lyrically, it's a heartfelt love song—wide open, full throttle, and impossible to get out of your head.' 'It never strayed far from the original vision Robert, and I had,' notes guitarist Henry James. 'Cobb brought a new level of spontaneity and emotional edge to the sessions. This track hits hard and still gives you the feels—it's everything we love about rock 'n' roll.' According to bassist Warren Murrel, the Savannah sessions represented a major turning point for the band: 'For the first time in our band's history, we had the opportunity to live at the studio while recording. Instead of dealing with LA traffic and squeezing in sessions between other commitments, we got to immerse ourselves fully in the music—writing, recording, and refining songs every day for over a week. It was an experience that allowed us to be completely present in the creative process. Dave Cobb has a way of getting under the hood of a song, pushing it further than we ever thought possible. His guidance challenged us in the best ways and helped bring this album to life in a way we're truly proud of.' Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes captures the band at a creative peak, drawing from real-life experiences of love, loss, and redemption. Across ten riveting tracks, Robert Jon & The Wreck explore the full emotional spectrum, delivered with thunderous riffs, razor-sharp grooves, and some of their most compelling lyrics to date. The album was mixed by Greg Gordon, known for his work with Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, and Rival Sons. It will be available on CD, limited edition colored vinyl, and in special merch bundles, including an exclusive shirt and bandana package. 'This album is a candid musical reflection of who we are today,' adds Henry. 'Tales of love gone awry, love gone right, camaraderie, estrangement, lessons learned, dark shadows, and bright lights—all wrapped into one.' 'Highway' follows the release of several acclaimed tracks from the upcoming album, including the fiery, John Oates co-written 'Long Gone,' the introspective ballad 'Ashes in the Snow,' and the high-octane 'Sittin' Pretty.' Each single has spotlighted a different facet of the band's evolving sound, building anticipation for what promises to be their most ambitious album yet. The band is currently on the road for a packed 2025 tour that includes headline dates across Europe and North America, plus appearances at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Askena Rock Festival, Hookrock, and Chinook Fest. With stops in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and major U.S. cities from New York to Fargo, fans worldwide will get to experience the new songs live for the first time.

The tones of Joe Bonamassa's obscure 'Greenburst' Strat have been brought to the masses with new Seymour Duncan pickups
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Joe Bonamassa has launched his latest signature pickup set with Seymour Duncan, this time based on the tonal delights of the obscure 1964 Greenburst Stratocaster he acquired in 2023. The Joe Bonamassa 'Greenburst' Stratocaster Pickup Set has been described as a faithful capture of one of the besuited bluesman's most cherished instruments. The single-coils feature 'precisely staggered Alnico 5 magnets and an authentic design that recreates the magic of this special '64 Strat'. The pickups are handcrafted in the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop, and they include gray bottom flatwork and a pad-printed signature from JoBo for a more exclusive touch. Bonamassa's rare Strat pre-dates the firm's much-mired CBS-owned era, with the gray flatwork pickups of the Greenburst's time adored for a 'notably punchy sound and higher output' that sets them apart from their later counterparts. Watching JoBo's playthrough, the twang and bite of the pickups cannot be disputed. It's also impressive how close the tone is when he swaps the guitar out for another Greenburst pickup-loaded Strat. It's very close indeed. 'It's for power Stratocaster playing,' Bonamassa says of the newly created set. 'It's not subtle! It's the power and projection of the gray bottom characteristics that really balance out the front, middle, and treble positions.' Made with period-correct wiring and the aforementioned staggered magnets, no corners have been cut to replicate the tone of the Greenburst, a guitar he called an 'instant star' when he first laid eyes on it. The guitarist has a knack for ultra-rare gear finds, even if it means taking exhaustive measures, like a 15-year search for Lowell George's Dumble Overdrive Special amp. For a man whose home-turned-gear-museum has been the subject of two Reverb documentaries, though, the fact the Greenburst stands as one of his finest finds is quite the achievement. Bonamassa bought the Strat in question from revered vintage guitar emporium Norman's Rare Guitars in early 2023. Its green finish – clearly not a stock colorway – had initially piqued his interest, and it's believed that the guitar's repaint was done in the 1970s at the latest. The Joe Bonamassa 'Greenburst' Stratocaster Pickup Set costs $375. The first 500 sets sold will have an aged finish. They will also include limited-edition packaging and a certificate of authenticity signed by Bonamassa and Seymour Duncan. Head to the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop for more details.
