Knucklebone Oscar will release his new solo album Uncle Knuckle on 22 March.<\/strong> The album’s second single release, the title track Uncle Knuckle, will be released today 6 March, accompanied by an upbeat video, in the artist’s trademark hilariously unflashy style<\/strong><\/p>\n

Knucklebone Oscar says the following about the new single and video:<\/p>\n

– The Uncle Knuckle<\/em> song originated years ago as a sort of tribute to Professor Longhair’s <\/strong>piano solo Big Chief<\/em>. The only thing that really remains from this starting point is the piano solo in the intro. The song was largely shaped by producer Sami Baldauf<\/strong> into a kind of “James Brown<\/strong> & Prince <\/strong>with hints of New Orleans” party stomper. The video is about a bohemian special that gets you going, freaking out and confused. One can sense a certain amount of first-hand experience in the story. And for once, it’s a song that’s not too long, but an old-school single, 2 minutes 30 seconds long!<\/p>\n

Musically, this is a powerful piece of rock ‘n’ roll and funk: you can hear Knucklebone intact, with a swinging, stinging guitar.<\/p>\n

– Uncle Knuckle<\/em> is, in my opinion, a kind of stylistic hybrid of James Brown, Tom Waits<\/strong> and Dr. John<\/strong>, influenced by the stuff I love most. Less actual blues, hit song soul or old school rock and roll. The straightforward and concise song captures the gumbo or mix of the upcoming album very well, Knucklebone Oscar enthuses<\/p>\n

The guitarist-singer’s previous album King of Helsinki<\/em> was released in 2016, so it’s been several years since his last Knucklebone Oscar album. Most recently, in 2022, the artist released the album Believe It Or Not<\/em> with Judge Nurmio<\/strong>. The album, which featured some tasty gospel rock, was widely praised in the British music media and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

On the new album, Oscar talks in his own madcap style about ageing as a rocker, vintage rock and roll, the expectations of fans, the fear and excitement of the new.<\/p>\n

– The Uncle Knuckle<\/em> album features more recent stuff as well as older songs that have only just been completed. It’s kind of a theme album, a collection of different sounds, styles and songs that I’ve been tweaking over a 30-year career. It’s really liberating and tickling to have a whole body of new music out there in the ether. This album has been carefully matured and twisted. It’s exciting because the result is so different from my previous albums,” Knucklebone Oscar admits.<\/p>\n

The Uncle Kn<\/em> uckle album also features guest vocal soloists such as Tuomo Pr\u00e4tt\u00e4l\u00e4<\/strong>, Marjo Leinonen, Molly Moonstone, Ina Forsman, Eero Raittinen<\/strong> and Tuure Kilpel\u00e4inen<\/strong>. The artist’s own son is also in the mix.<\/p>\n

– Uncle Knuckle<\/em> is my “friends and family” album. It’s a 50-year-old rocker’s mid-term review of everything that’s been done.<\/p>\n
