Texas rockers Blacktop Mojo teamed up with singer-songwriter Dylan Wheeler to release their most recent cover track of Audioslave's "Getaway Car" yesterday.
The band explained the track coming to fruition, "Dylan and Nathan were talking on the phone as we were rolling down the road on our spring tour and got to chatting about Chris Cornell. Dylan said, 'Dude we should do ‘Getaway Car’ together.' Nathan responded saying 'Dude! We just started messing around with throwing that song in our set.' We booked the studio right then and made it happen when we got back from the tour."
"We teamed up with our buddy Dylan Wheeler to honor a mutual hero of ours on his birthday with a rendition of one of our favorite songs he ever made. Chris Cornell has inspired and will continue to inspire so many long after we're all gone,” lead singer Matt James also commented.
The "Getaway Car" will be available for streaming and purchase on all digital platforms July 27, 2022. Blacktop Mojo also recently hit the road again for their late summer/fall 2022 run. Tour dates can be found below:
