PasteMagazine kindly hosted me in their studios again to do some new songs from SULTANS.

I had the opportunity to visit the City Winery in Manhattan where I will start the tour in support of the new album "Sultans" to do one of their One on One Cellar Sessions. Here's the result: https://youtu.be/m5aUMqKQ4O4

My new single “Mazarati” is out now on all digital streaming platforms! It’s the first track from my upcoming album, Sultans, out March 1st. LISTEN HERE: https://CompassRecords.lnk.to/mazarati WATCH THE VIDEO HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAgGoNwvGcQ PRE-ORDER THE NEW ALBUM: https://CompassRecords.lnk.to/sultans

"Mazarati," the first track from Bobby Long's forthcoming album SULTANS, finds Long searching for truth and meaning in life. Electric piano and wah wah guitar wash over the chorus which breaks into a 60s-inspired guitar break. Stream it here: https://compassrecords.lnk.to/mazarati "I had this lyric: 'if you're looking for some truth, you've lost it, get saved,'" Long explains. "I think I sang it almost immediately when I first put the chords together. When I realized what I was writing about, it suddenly connected. The lyrics may sound like I'm bashing religion in general, but it's really about my own personal experience. I don't want to tell people what or how to think. However, the song touches on one of my main frustrations, which is the narrow-sightedness of people who won't look critically at outside reasoning. For me, the search for truth is what is most important, not trying to find truth/reason or denying it because I wasn't taught it at school or had it handed down to me by my parents."

Dear Friends: Firstly, a happy new year to all of you. I hope you also had a wonderful Christmas. I'm sat writing this to you on a cold morning sluggishly watching Frozen for the 100th time (and perhaps you know why). I had a great holiday and didn't want it to end. I spent it in upstate New York, and my days were long and surrounded by the eroding winter landscape. It was beautiful. 2019 is going to be great. As I hope you know by now, I have my new album coming out on March 1st on Compass Records. I cannot wait for you all to have it, own it and live with it. Thank you again to those who pledged to help make it happen, and if you haven't, you actually still can! That way you will received the download on the day of release. I am also announcing more and more dates so keep an eye out on this page. The album, Sultans, has been a new endeavour in many ways. Working with new people and being more and more involved on the production side of things myself was a wonderful experience. The songs are probably more important to me than those on other albums, not only because of the content, but because so many people have worked especially hard to get them out into the world. Again, I just want you to listen to it and to say thank you again for your continued support. It has been nearly 10 years of making music, and I always think of how fortunate I am. See you on the road in March, bring your friends and have a great year. Bobby xo

Please join me for my first official showcase at AmericanaFest on Thursday evening, September 13. It's open to the public, and you can buy tickets here for that evening or for the entire conference: http://americanamusic.org/buy-your-pass Hope to see you there!
