Bernie Marsden has announced his new album, Chess, is set for release on November 26, 2021.

Chess marks the latest addition to the former Whitesnake guitarists Inspiration Series of records, in which he revisits and covers influential material from his past.

Marsdens first instalment was Kings, which was only released back in July and saw the guitarist interpret tracks from the three Kings of blues: Freddie, Albert and B.B King.

This time around, hes taking on the output of the legendary Chicago label, Chess Records, which inspired the likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, alongside the young Marsden.

Of the 12 songs on the record, 10 are covers of tracks from the storied Chess catalogue, including a string of numbers from guitar greats, among them: Chuck Berrys Back In The USA, Im Ready (Muddy Waters), You Cant Judge A Book By The Cover (Bo Diddley), I Cant Hold Out (Elmore James), I Wont Be Hanging Around (Albert King) and Whos Been Talking (Howlin Wolf).

Elsewhere, there are two original Chess-inspired instrumental tracks, Lester and Johnny.

Marsden is reportedly already working on the third instalment of the Inspirations Series, ready for a 2022 release, which would mean a third collection within the space of a year from the guitarist. Inspirations Series, indeed!
