* Insert signed by ZZ Ward* Join ZZ Ward on the Rock n Roll channel to discuss her new album, Liberation. Liberation follows the release of ZZ’s critically acclaimed Mother EP last year and her summer tour with Slash, where she previewed this bold new material. Produced by multi-platinum producer Ryan Spraker (Eli “Paperboy” Reed, Weezer, In This Moment), the album brings ZZ full circle, embracing the soul-blues stylings of Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, and Etta James, alongside the foundational sounds of Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, and Big Mama Thornton that she grew up listening to with her bluesman father.
