The Magpie Salute Announces Upcoming Release Of Self-Titled Debut Album

The Magpie Salute, a band featuring Black Crowes alumni Rich Robinson, Marc Ford and Sven Pipien, will issue their self-titled debut album on June 9 via Eagle Rock Entertainment. Robinson produced the effort which was recorded live in the studio in front of an audience at Applehead Recording in Woodstock, New York, except for the full studio track “Omission.”

Late Black Crowes keyboardist Eddie Harsch contributed to the LP as it marks his last recorded work. The full studio track “Omission,” penned by Rich Robinson and vocalist John Hogg, will be the album’s first single. Look for “Omission” to hit rock radio and the web in May with a video to be released soon thereafter. The Magpie Salute launches a U.S. tour on July 26 in Indianapolis.

The Magpie Salute’s new album features 10 tracks. In addition to “Omission,” the band offers interpretations of The Black Crowes’ “What Is Home” and “Wiser Time,” and cover songs by Delaney and Bonnie (“Comin’ Home”), Bobby Hutcherson (“Goin’ Down South”), War (“War Drums”), Pink Floyd (“Fearless”), the Faces (“Glad and Sorry”), Bob Marley (“Time Will Tell”) and the traditional “Ain’t No More Cane.”
