Beyond 1969 Go Track By Track For 'Back To The Blues'

(DDPS) Prolific guitarist Tom 'The Suit' Forst and Beyond 1969 have shared a track by track from their new live in-studio, all-original album, BACK TO THE BLUES, which will be released on April 24th.

The ten-song recording features Blues/Rock Hall Of Fame inductee - songwriter, vocalist, guitarist Tom Forst (The Suit); award-winning vocalist, bassist, and songwriter, Tony Delisio; keyboardist extraordinaire, Jeff Bousfield; and premier percussionist, Bryan Caudle.

Back To The Blues, recorded at award-winning Horizon Music Group, is a modern Blues/Rock album in the tradition of Johnny Winter and Joe Bonamassa -- Indeed, the late Paul Nelson (Grammy winner/touring member of Johnny WInter's Band) produced a prior album, On Fire, with Tom. Forst's Beyond 1969 band members have shared the stage with The Marshall Tucker Band, George T. Gregory, Styx, The Edgar Winter Band, and The Rhinestones - just to name a few.

"Tony and I wrote these songs about passion - love, loss, lust, loneliness & laughter," reveals Forst. "Every lyric and note tells a story - one that all humans will relate to."
