Robby Krieger and his new band released their self-titled debut album in 2024. Just before release, we chatted with Robby and keyboardist Ed Roth about the new record, attending Ravi Shankar’s school and why Robby was disappointed in his childhood hero, Bob Dylan. We also asked Robby if he thought of The Doors as a progressive band.
Stikkord: Robby Krieger
It is largely Krieger’s guitar playing that lifts the record above the ordinary and gives it something more. It is an intensely attractive, approachable, and catchy record, full of fine melodies, upbeat organ and guitar solos, and excellent rhythm playing, that wears its musicianship lightly and lets the feel of the music do the talking.
