    Supersonic Blues Machine is the magic combination of drum legend Kenny Aronoff, bassist/producer Fabrizio Grossi & singer Kris Barras.
    Voodoo Nation features guest performances by Sonny Landreth, Eric Gales, Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke), Ana Popovic amongst others.

Voodoo Nation is the band’s third studio album and fourth in total following West of Flushing, South of Frisco (2016), Californisoul (2017), live album Road Chronicles: Live (2019) and will be released on 24 June via Provogue /Mascot Label Group.

The album starts with the track "Money", which is about greed.  "Greed alone is not the problem, it's greed and the lack of respect for everybody else", he explains. The 8-minute "Devil at the Doorstep" features Eric Gales – whose own recent album Crown was a #1 Blues Billboard hit. The song is a studio representation of what happens when they play live with Gales.

SSBM underline problems faced by musicians on "Coming Thru" and "Get It Done" - the latter features Los Angeles based virtuoso Josh Smith. "Do It Again" is another firecracker that rounds off the theme and features Ana Popovic, which is about "the happiness and blessing of being able to do what you love."

Young Harlem blues-sensation King Solomon Hicks takes on lead vocals and  guitar on the call to arms "You and Me." The bands trademark soulful blues sound can be heard beautifully on "I Will Let It Go," featuring Kirk Fletcher, and the sumptuous "Is It All" featuring the legendary Joe Louis Walker, which sees him and Barras trade vocals  on the stunning soul ballad. The title track locks in the feeling of general discontent in society.

Supersonic Blues Machine reflect how they see the world through their lens and never far is a message of hope and the album closes with the inspirational country blues "All Our Love" featuring Blackberry Smoke's Charlie Starr.
