The former Montrose and Van Halen vocalist Sammy Hagar teamed up with the influential Blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa to record a stand-alone single called "Fortune Teller Blues". It was Hagar who sent Bonamassa a "rough idea of a blues song", according to the producer Kevin Sherley. “Sammy sent us this very rough idea of a blues song while Joe and I were in a studio in Greece, and we crafted a raw, edgy blues version to go with it. At times, it carries a haunting energy, and at others, it evokes the spirit of the New Orleans French Quarter." "Joe was in a particularly gritty mood and played the entire track on an Ovation acoustic guitar plugged into an overdriven amplifier, producing a chaotic, heavy, and almost eerie sound. We wanted to create a different kind of blues feel to complement the lyrics, and we’re all thrilled with how it turned out,” he said. Promoting the track, Hagar said: "Holy shit, the thing came out good... the track is a monster."
