Southern Rockers Drop Masterpiece Album Today, August 23, 2025

Robert Jon & The Wreck, the Southern California roots rock powerhouse, have unleashed their ninth studio album, Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes, via Journeyman Records, helmed by Joe Bonamassa. Produced by Grammy-winning Dave Cobb and mixed by Greg Gordon (known for Chris Stapleton and Sturgill Simpson), this 2025 release captures the band’s raw live spirit with 10 tracks blending rock-and-soul grit and timeless storytelling. As Rock & Blues Muse raves, it’s “a true testament to their ability to capture the human experience.” Stream it now and watch the title track “Heartbreak & Last Goodbye” video HERE.

Title Track ‘Heartbreak & Last Goodbye’ Steals the Show

The title track and latest single, “Heartbreak & Last Goodbye”, drops as the album’s emotional core. Evolving from a simple acoustic idea under Cobb’s guidance, it features Jake Abernathie’s tuneful piano, mellotron textures, and Robert Jon Burrison’s passionate vocals. Guitarist Henry James says, “It’s a climactic and emotional song… an age-old tale of heartbreak—raising a glass to love lost.” With its sing-along chorus—“So, pour me more liquor and forget the ice, ’cause I’ve been watered down too many times”—it transforms sorrow into celebration.
