The legendary guitarist and songwriter of THE DOORS and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Robby Krieger will be releasing his first solo album in 10 years on 14th August 2020. ‘The Ritual Begins At Sundown’ will be released via his new home at The Players Club, a division of the Mascot Label Group.
Check out the new song The Hitch here:
“He did things with the guitar that nobody’s ever done.” Alice Cooper
“People do not know how good he is” Ritchie Sambora
“Robby Krieger is one of my absolute heroes,” William Duvall (Alice in Chains)
“Robby Krieger is one of the most fantastic guitarists, one of the most inventive and the most unpredictable guitarists I’ve ever heard” Sam Kiszka (Greta van Fleet)
The Doors weren’t just one of the most iconic bands of their generation, but one of the most influential bands in rock history and Robby Krieger was responsible for writing some of their biggest hits in ‘Light My Fire,’ Love Me Two Times,’ ‘Touch Me’ and ‘Love Her Madly.’
Krieger returns for his 9th solo album and his first since 2010s Grammy nominated ‘Singularity,’ and once again with his long time writing partner and co-producer Arthur Barrow. Barrow worked with Frank Zappa through the 1970s-80s as well as Giorgio Moroder, Joe Cocker, Diana Ross and Janet Jackson and worked on soundtracks for Top Gun and Scarface. The album also features other Zappa alumni Jock Ellis (Trombone), Sal Marquez (Trumpet) and Tommy Mars (Keys) as well as AeB Bryne (Flute), Vince Denim (Sax), Chuck Manning (Sax), Joel Wackerman (Drums) and Joel Taylor (Drums).
