The Chris Robinson Brotherhood have released an official video for “Behold The Seer,” the opening track from the band’s new studio album, Barefoot In The Head. The upcoming album is set to be released this Friday, July 21st, and will be supported with an extensive summer tour that will see the group traveling from coast to coast. While the Chris Robinson Brotherhood recently released a live album, Betty’s Blends, Vol. 3, captured by the legendary Grateful Dead taper Betty Cantor-Jackson, Barefoot In The Head marks a third collection of new material in only two years time.

“The music that we make, the concerts that we play, it’s this world we’ve created for ourselves and our people,” explains frontman Chris Robinson in a press release. “We want everybody to understand that no matter where you are in your life that you can always be barefoot in your head. There’s always this other place you can go. Is that place it real? That’s your decision to make, what you’re going to let be real to you.”
Robinson continues, “They say the only people who know true freedom are musicians and gangsters,” Chris Robinson says in a press release. “And Bob Dylan said to live outside the law you must be honest. We’re living in these anxiety-filled times, in an era of ‘no truth,’ but what our music represents is this truly honest way of communicating with people, and that’s a really freeing thing.”
This new studio album via Silver Arrow Records is self-produced by the band and contains ten new tracks from the Brotherhood. You can listen to the feel-good “Behold The Seer” below in the music video, and pre-order Barefoot In The Head on the band’s website here. You can find the full track listing for Barefoot In The Head below. Also, don’t forget to check out the Brotherhood’s upcoming tour dates, and snag tickets here.
“After six years of solid touring with this band, we can still roll into Fayetteville, AR on a Tuesday night and have the most fun of any musical thing I’ve ever been a part of,” says Robinson. “We don’t have the weight of responsibility or nostalgia, which means we’re in the very psychedelic situation of getting to be totally honest and create everything in the moment. That’s freedom.”
