Track: Robert Jon And The Wreck – West Coast Eyes


Rob Blackham

Southern California-based roots rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck have announced ‘Ride Into The Light’, their seventh studio album, which is due the 4th of August via Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records. In celebration, the band have shared the first single taken from the album ‘West Coast Eyes’

A soft acoustic lead track that’s bursting full of love and sunshine echoing the doting lyrics sung so brilliantly by Jon. One of musics most underrated guitarists, Henry James Schneekluth, pops up throughout adding some melodic texture before laying down a smouldering slide solo. It’s gentle soothing music that Robert Jon and his crew do in style.

Robert Jon & The Wreck have had a very productive year so far with several new studio tracks released as well as their first-ever concert film Live At The Ancienne Belgique which dropped in April. Recorded during their sold-out show at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium on June 29th, 2022, the live CD/DVD set captures the Wreck amid their longest-ever tour – 67 performances in 75 days across 9 countries. The night was nothing less than spectacular, featuring a setlist that spanned the last decade of their prolific career, from their 2013 debut to their 2022 release.
