Troy Redfern “Gasoline”
Slide guitar master Troy Redfern unveils his new single & video “Gasoline” from his upcoming studio album The Wings of Salvation set to release September 23, 2022. It’s a blast of 21st century Southern rock with Redfern’s ferocious slide guitar. Watch the video below.
“Gasoline” is a spirit-lifting, body-moving blues/rock track with an odd-time groove and a magnificent chorus hook. Redfern has his songwriting chops absolutely dialed-in these days and has found a sound within his genre that’s all his own. His lowdown, National resonator guitar slide work is primed and ready for a worldwide explosion, as well. The music video for the song is also quite cool, adds excitement, and contributes to Redfern’s already-cinematic vibe. He’s got that elusive, intangible star quality that all of the greats possess and delivers his music with truth and passion. “Gasoline” is the song you need to hear right now, especially if you need to refocus on the light that’s up ahead. Get ready for Troy Redfern to put you right.

“With ‘Gasoline’ I wanted to write a positive, uplifting, good-time rock n’ roll tune,” says Troy. “Right now we’re bombarded with a lot of negative news in the media. Lyrically, I wanted to put something out there that was the opposite to that. The groove fo this tune is 7/8, which isn’t typical rock n’ roll rhythm, but I really love the flow and feel of riffing in this time signature, especially playing slide using the National resonator in low tuning. The combination sounds huge.”
Produced by Dave Marks (Hans Zimmer) at the UK’s Dulcitone Studios, The Wings of Salvation is an exciting new chapter in Redfern’s trajectory, not only as a slide guitarist, but as a creative force in the recording studio.
After releasing an unprecedented six albums in just under two years, Troy’s new album The Wings of Salvation, is his most compelling work to date. The album highlights Redfern’s powerfully edgy vocal delivery, condensed song writing skills, tight arrangements, complimented by his trademark “firebrand” slide guitar playing. Band members include Troy Redfern (lead vocals, guitars), Dave Marks (bass, keyboards, percussion), and Paul Stewart (drums).
“I wanted to make a record that was a true representation of where I am right now as an artist,” says Redfern. “I wanted to create something in the spirit of the old school classic rock albums that I grew up listening to.”
