"The Rides" - the new all-star blues rock supergroup featuring guitarist Stephen Stills (Buffalo Springfield, CSN, CSN&Y), guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd and keyboardistBarry Goldberg (Electric Flag) release their debut album "Can't Get Enough" on CD, digitial download, and vinyl in the UK on Monday 26th August via Provogue Records.
Produced by Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads), the generation-spanning trio has co-written originals and recorded covers of classics by Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Neil Young and Iggy and the Stooges. "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).Described by Stills as "the blues band of my dreams", the project began with Stills and Goldberg writing together at their mutual manager Elliot Roberts' recommendation. "It was like finding a long lost soul brother" says Goldberg (who hadn't met Stills before, their shared 1968 credit notwithstanding). "We connected on so many things, started jamming, and soon had begun writing our first song."Comments
