Robby Krieger - The Ritual Begins At Sundown

 

Legendary Doors guitarist Robby Krieger on 180-gram yellow vinyl LP!

Limited time album download included

Legendary guitarist and songwriter of The Doors and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Robby Krieger returns for his ninth solo album, The Ritual Begins At Sundown. This new album is Krieger's first solo album since 2010's Grammy-nominated Singularity, and once again he teamed up with his long time writing partner and co-producer Arthur Barrow.

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."

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), Chad Wackerman (Drums) and Tommy Mars (Keys) as well as AeB Bryne (Flute), Vince Denham (Sax), Chuck Manning (Sax) and Joel Taylor (Drums).

The Ritual Begins At Sundown is a 10-song instrumental record that was recorded at Krieger's own Horse Latitudes Studio in LA. The album features nine original tracks and one cover, the Frank Zappa song "Chunga'a Revenge," which has a worthy place in the track listing with the incredible Zappa musicians on the album.
