Warren Haynes has just announced the details of his new solo album, Million Voices Whisper, and shared the first single, "This Life As We Know It." The new song is Warren's message to us all: embrace the positives of change and look forward through a new lens – one that starts within. You can watch the in-studio performance video below, which features behind-the-scenes content from the recording of "This Life As We Know It" at Power Station New England.
Million Voices Whisper, produced by Warren, will be released on 1 November digitally and on CD via Fantasy Records, with vinyl shipping on 15 November. This is Warren's first solo album in almost a decade. There'll also be a deluxe CD version, which will include four bonus songs.
Warren is joined on the album by members of his current all-star band, including John Medeski on keyboards, Terence Higgins, who has been Warren's drummer for many years and is also in the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and Kevin Scott, who plays bass for Gov't Mule. Million Voices Whisper also features guest appearances from his Allman Brothers Band colleague Derek Trucks, whose distinctive guitar sound can be heard on three tracks that were co-produced with Haynes, and his Last Waltz Tour co-stars Lukas Nelson and Jamey Johnson, who are featured on the powerful "Day of Reckoning." Haynes and Warren also worked together on a track called "Real Real Love," which features Trucks on guitar. Warren finished the song in Allman's style and methods, as if Allman were singing it to honour his friend.
