Acclaimed guitarist and singer-songwriter and South African Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Steve Louw is pleased to announce the release of his fourth studio album Traces of the Flood out today! Produced by Kevin Shirley (Joe Bonamassa, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Beth Hart), the album is released by BFD/The Orchard on Friday May 15th, and is available to order on CD, vinyl and digital HERE.
To coincide with the album release, Louw has released the title track single “Traces of the Flood” which is accompanied by the official music video that can be viewed on YouTube HERE.
Says Louw about the title track single; “In this panoramic tale, set in the barren South African Karoo landscape, we are on an exploration, traveling from the sea to the source of an African river. In a timeless landscape, cut through by wind and water, we meet renegades and rebels, lawmen and ladies, on a journey which becomes one of self-discovery.”
“Traces of the Flood is a song where you have to keep moving,” continues Louw. “The law is on your back. Storms are brewing. Fires are raging. You’re heading into the high mountains with a way to go.”
“Horses, Cadillacs and Bonnie & Clyde Whippets cross the empty plains, leading you through where a river quivers and disappears into a desert forest. The spirits of the dead are all around you, in the high plains and on moonlit gravel. You’ve landed on a deserted beach and sought redemption in the heart of the river.”
