The Doors<\/b> guitarist Robby Krieger<\/b> has announced he will release an album with his new band The Soul Savages<\/b> on January 19, 2024.<\/p>\n
Along with the album announcement, the band released the record’s lead single, “A Day in L.A.”<\/p>\n
The 10-track album, titled Robby Krieger And The Soul Savages<\/I>, was recorded in old school style in a relaxed studio setting. <\/p>\n
The album, tracked at Love Street Studios in Glendale, California, features music inspired by classic soul, 1960s jazz, blues, rock, psychedelic rock, and so on.<\/p>\n
“I’ve had this studio for the last six or seven years, and it’s really made me branch out as a musician,” Krieger says. “We wrote together, and soul music became a big part of this album. These guys are world-class players\u2014they’ve worked with Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Kahn, Lenny Kravitz\u2014they have that great groove pedigree.”<\/p>\n
The Soul Savages feature keyboardist Ed Roth<\/b>, Grammy-winning bassist Kevin “Brandino” Brandon<\/b>, and drummer Franklin Vanderbilt<\/b>.<\/p>\n
“This band inspired a style of playing I hadn’t done in a while, and it also inspired me to do new things,” Krieger noted. “For example, in the past, I reserved my slide playing for more of the bluesy stuff, but I stretched out on the album playing slide over jazz, funk, and soul grooves. I want to keep evolving, and these guys really inspire me.”<\/p>\n
