American Songwriter | Daily Discovery: GA-20 Pays Tribute to Blues Legend with New Take on “She’s Gone”
“This is the best kind of blues,” Matt Stubbs of GA-20 tells American Songwriter about the band’s latest single “She’s Gone.” “It’s raw, and it grabs at you on an emotional level. This song is age-old loss and longing, but in that place where sadness and anger and perhaps some alcohol and recklessness intersect.”
GA-20 is a dynamic blues trio composed of guitarist Matt Stubbs, guitarist/vocalist Pat Faherty and drummer Tim Carman. The band recently looked to legendary six-fingered bluesmen Theodore Roosevelt “Hound Dog” Taylor to inspire their work. “She’s Gone,” a track originally written by Taylor, was recorded by the band as a part of their upcoming tribute album—GA-20 Does Hound Dog Taylor: Try It…You Might Like It! —for the Chicago artist.
