Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ 429 Records) The Rides, the new blues-rock supergroup featuring legendary songwriter Stephen Stills, guitar slinger
Kenny Wayne Shepherd and venerable Electric Flag keyboardist Barry Goldberg, are continuing to build buzz with radio airplay of their first single, "Don't Want Lies" exploding in Los Angeles - currently #1 at tastemaker radio station KCSN (88.3). Says KCSN Program
Director Sky Daniels : " Stephen Stills' distinctive vocals make the phones ring every time KCSN plays this. The guitar interplay of Stephen and
Kenny Wayne Shepherd and the keyboards of Barry Goldberg made this the #1 most played track at KCSN this week!" In addition, the album's momentum has been propelled by an interview and exclusive video premiere for the second single "Search and Destroy" on Billboard.com August 5 th . An exclusive stream of the title track "
Can't Get Enough" is scheduled to debut on Grammy.com on August 7 th . The multi-generational outfit's debut album, Can't Get Enough , is set for CD, digital, and vinyl release August 27 on 429 Records . Featuring four co-written originals, a handful of covers, and a vintage, previously unrecorded
Stills gem, Can't Get Enough was inspired by--and is an homage to--the now-classic 1968 album Super Session , which featured
Stills on guitar on one side, and the late Mike Bloomfield on the other (Bloomfield had founded Electric Flag with Goldberg , who also played on Super Session , as did Blood, Sweat &
Tears keyboardist Al Kooper ). The Rides will embark on a world tour beginning in
September (dates below).
That exhilarating creative sorcery blasts through ten fire-breathing tracks, four of them Stills/Shepherd/Goldberg co-writes including the album-opening barnburner "Roadhouse"-- about the life of an itinerant bluesman--the melodic, CSN-esque "Don't Want Lies," and the title track, a groove soaked, guitar-heavy anthem with a soul-baring lead vocal by
Stills . The in-the-moment energy and unscripted emotion of Can't Get Enough , however, are among the album's greatest strengths, as is the powerhouse guitar interplay between
Stills and Shepherd , and the stellar accompaniment from Goldberg-- who, as a teenager in his native
Chicago , sat in with Muddy Waters, Otis Rush and Howlin' Wolf, and went on to play keyboards for
Bob Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival, formed The Electric Flag, and composed with Gerry Goffin . The album was recorded live in the studio over the course of about a week at EastWest in Los Angeles , helmed by longtime Shepherd producer Jerry Harrison , a renowned musician in his own right (Talking Heads,
Modern Lovers, Casual Gods). Mostly first or second takes made the album's final cut. In addition to Layton-- Shepherd's drummer, and also a veteran of Stevie Ray Vaughn's
Double Trouble--the players include bassist
Kevin McCormick (CSN,
Jackson Browne ).
