Earlier this week, Nickelback started posting an announcement for today (August 14), and the internet started running. They have not released any new music since 2017 Feed the Machine, but the announcement is not for an original new song. They have released a cover of ‘The Devil Went Down to Georgia’ by the Charlie Daniels Band.
The track features Canadian guitarist and producer Dave Martone, who has worked alongside artists such as Marty Friedman and Yngwie Malmsteen. Listen to the cover below.
Charlie Daniels died last month at the age of 83, and many rockers pay homage to the Southern rock legend. Korn released her own cover of the iconic song featuring some of Yelawolf’s guest vocals.
Until we get news of their upcoming 10th studio album, Nickelback will be releasing a 15th anniversary edition of All good reasons on October 2nd.
