    Voraussichtliches Erscheinungsdatum: 25 April 2025

What happens when your frontman exits stage left and your guitarist has folk music on the brain? If you're Velvet Opera circa 1969, you turn that plot twist into pure gold. After Elmer Gantry bid farewell, the band didn't just change direction – they changed dimensions, recruiting 12-string wizard Johnny Joyce and diving headfirst into a sonic world where blues meets folk and psychedelia sneaks in through the back door.

Recorded at Southern Studios with producer Barry Kingston playing musical matchmaker, "Ride A Hustler's Dream" captures a band reinventing itself in real time. From their innovative take on "Statesboro Blues" to Hudson's sitar-drenched "Raga and Lime," every track tells the story of musicians following their muse down unexplored pathways. Even Eleanor Rigby gets a fresh identity, thanks to John Ford's thunderous bass runs.

This isn't just the album that bridged Velvet Opera to Strawbs (though it did that too) – it's a testament to what happens when talented musicians decide to dream a different dream. Now lovingly remastered by Prof. Stoned plus notes by Mike Stax, it's time to take this ride again.
