Track listing
Background In an interview with Blabbermouth, Slash explained how the title track, Flying Blind came together while in the studio and how it became the lead single, "I had nothing of that song prior to those guys coming in, and then we started up a night of rehearsal. As for the first single, you never know what the first single is going to be until you've recorded it." Myles Kennedy adds that the title track examines the shortcuts people sometimes pursue in search for fulfillment. Flying Blind explores a range of sound without abandoning the band's direct, hard-rock foundation across the album's 12 tracks.
According to Loudwire, Myles Kennedy praises Slash for being an incredible riff writer and coming up with simple chord progressions that are compelling for melodies. Flying Blind was recorded in Studio Barbarosa with Michael "Elvis" Baskette returning as the producer for the record. Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators announced the tour starting on April 2, 2027.
