When they told me Brantley Gilbert and Brian May were also going to be part of it, I was honored. Kenny Wayne Shepherd said, “When Five Finger Death Punch approached me about teaming up with them to do a special version of ‘Blue on Black,’ I was thrilled to do it. What better way to make a difference than to join forces with some of our friends in country, blues and classic rock who happen to be some of the biggest names in those genres and together celebrate these heroes.” Yet they make a conscious choice to do so for the greater good. “These brave men and women leave their homes every morning not knowing if they’ll ever see their families again. “To raise awareness for and support first responders is a cause that’s always been close to our hearts,” FFDP guitarist Zoltan Bathory commented. All proceeds from this collaboration version of “Blue on Black” will be donated to the Gary Sinise Foundation, which honors America’s defenders, veterans, first responders, their families and those in need. The new version is available now worldwide, and premiered today with an official music video taking viewers behind the scenes into the creation of the all-star rendition. Five Finger Death Punch have joined forces with Queen’s Brian May as well as country star Brantley Gilbert and blues-rock musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd for a special version of the song “Blue on Black,” originally recorded and co-written by Shepherd, and covered by FFDP on last year’s And Justice for None.
