Description
We made a low-fi blues record with the traditional aspects of the Chicago Blues scene that existed in the 50s, but with a twist. dUg PinnickMegaforce Records is proud to release Grinder Blues self-titled debut album on October 14th. The powerhouse trio teams King s X legend dUg Pinnick with two gritty, hard rocking (and Emmy Award-winning!) roots music MVP s, Jabo Bihlman on guitar and vocals and Scot Little Bihlman on drums, percussion and vocals.Grinder Blues is like a shot of adrenaline to the heart of the genre. Its 10 original, high-voltage songs sizzle with daredevil virtuosity and rock with unrestrained energy, blasting a sound minted in the urban canyons of Chicago and the swamps of rural Louisiana during the 1950s into the present thanks to rumbling guitars, freight train rhythms and bass legend dUg Pinnick s virtuoso licks and elegantly gritty rock n soul voice. The idea for the music was to stay away from the clichs and rock out, dUg explains. If we felt like we were heading into any songs that seemed like standard blues lyrically or musically, we made it a point to veer in the opposite direction. dUg was particularly enthusiastic about moving into the blues; it s a whole new direction for him, says Scot, who, like his brother Jabo are longstanding fans of dUg s work. A heavy, twisted take on the blues is something we all felt dUg was born to do. He's the most soulful vocalist, a blues singer really, adds Jabo. Even with King's X and his other projects, it's always dUg's soulful, thundering vocals that push the music over the top. Produced by Miles Fulwider and Barry Mork with mixing by Miles, Barry and dUg, Grinder Blues was written collaboratively by the band. Pinnick aimed to keep the music simple and fun, while exploring new directions. The lyrics are traditional, an homage to the old blues heroes who came before them
