British blues roots rock guitarist Bex Marshall will release “I Can’t Look You In The Eye” the second single from her forthcoming album ‘Fortuna‘. The single is available on all streaming platforms from https://dixiefrog.lnk.to/ICantLookYou.
‘I Can’t Look You In The Eye’ is blues rock song born from not being able to comfortably stare at a person in conversation, says Bex. “Due to the fact that the energy and attraction between the of the two is so intense, almost like opposing magnets until the eyes connect. The song was co-written with Scott Coopwood from Clarksdale, Mississippi, with revered local musicians.”
The long-awaited studio album ‘Fortuna‘ is a ten-track blues tapestry that bulges to the edges with addictive hooks and story lines. Bex is a writer of notability, she pushes the boundaries of blues and weaves the genre in and out of blues, funk, rock, and Americana.
Bex steps forward with this record as a leading female guitarist, producing her powerful, self-penned album with soaring lead lines, technical ragtime, and ballsy slide playing.
It’s been ten years since Bex Marshall’s last release. During this time, Bex has experienced a busy touring schedule, independently breaking into several international markets. ‘Fortuna’ is an intense culmination of focus and personal release over the last few years.
