‘Voltz Of Holt Vol. 2’, an album of songs by brothers Junior Holt and Brian Holt, and Junior’s son Bamm, is tentatively scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2024.
Junior Holt made the disclosure recently, saying the songs are a mix of covers of songs made famous by his father John Holt, and originals.
Most of the songs are being recorded at Voltage Unlimited, Junior and Bamm’s studio in Connecticut.
“Looking forward to releasing Voltz Of Holt Vol. 2. We have access to our own studio now so you’ll be hearing more works soon to come in this year 2023,” said Junior Holt.
‘Really Blow my Mind’ will be the lead single from the album. That is the latest ‘combination’ between Junior and Bamm.
Brian’s song, a remake of ‘Baby I’m A Want You’, is expected to be the second release from Voltz of Holt Vol. 2. Originally done American blue-eyed soul duo, Bread, John Holt covered it much success for his ‘1000 Volts of Holt album, released in 1973.
Junior and Bamm Holt have committed to keeping the legacy of John Holt alive. The legendary singer and former member of The Paragons, died in 2014 at age 67.
In recent years, the duo have covered some of his songs including ‘Police in Helicopter’ and ‘Tribal War’, hoping it will introduce him to a new generation of fans.
Songs made famous in Jamaica by John Holt dominated Junior Holt’s well-received set at this year’s Rebel Salute in St. Ann parish, Jamaica.
