Joy Clark’s upcoming album Tell it to the Wind (out October 4) features her first single “Lesson.” Clark says, “My grandmother is and was my root, and when she passed, I thought back on what she imparted to me in her 86 years of life. I honor her remarkable journey with a bluesy chant that highlights a life lived through loving strength and kindness. ‘Lesson’ isn’t just a reminder of rock music’s Black, queer and Southern roots, it’s also an unapologetic demand that we take our rightful place in the struggle for freedom.”
