<\/div>\n

Robbie Robertson<\/a> recalls his hardscrabble youth on the new song \u201cDead End Kid,\u201d featuring Irish singer Glen Hansard<\/a>. The track will appear on Robertson\u2019s new album, Sinematic<\/em>, out September 20th.<\/p>\n

\u201cDead End Kid\u201d boasts a steady and heavy blues groove, over which Robertson scatters psych-tinged guitar licks and reminisces, in a sharp whisper, about growing up in Toronto and trying to prove wrong those who doubted his ambitions. Hansard provides backing vocals on the track, and the pair combine for a particularly thrilling moment when Robertson rasps and Hansard wails the line, \u201cSleeping in the subways, hiding in the underground\/My momma was looking for me, but I was nowhere to be found.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDead End Kid\u201d follows previously-released Sinematic<\/em> tracks, \u201cLet Love Reign\u201d<\/a> \u2014 which also features Hansard \u2014 and \u201cI Hear You Paint Houses,\u201d which features Van Morrison. Sinematic<\/em> marks Robertson\u2019s first solo album since 201\u2019s How to Become Clairvoyant<\/em><\/a> and was partly inspired by his work on the soundtrack for Martin Scorsese\u2019s upcoming mob film, The Irishman<\/em><\/a>, while others draw from the work he did for his 2016 memoir Testimony<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a>, Robertson spoke about how the book pushed him towards writing about more personal experiences in his music, which is something he\u2019d largely avoided throughout his career. \u201cIt opens a door and some fresh air comes in and things that used to feel too smoky and now aired out a little,\u201d he said. \u201cIt feels good to shed that skin.\u201d<\/p>\n
