On their debut album, Unusual Suspects, the Righteous Villains flirt with a myriad of classic blues styles while forging new ground. Filtering Chicago and Memphis grooves through an old-school West Coast template, they create a groove that swings as much as it rocks.
“We consider ourselves modern blues,” notes guitarist Brian Gerbracht. “We don’t play in the traditional 12-bar, 1-4-5, mode too much. When you have three songwriters bringing in different ideas it’s almost a guarantee things are going to go in a number of directions, the trick is to bring it all together so it makes sense.” “We build on the blues, it’s the foundation that holds it all together,” adds bandleader/harp player Don Wegrzynowski.
Unusual Suspects winds its way across 11 songs that plumb almost every corner of the blues landscape in way or another while maintaining a very forward-thinking musical mindset. Vintage rock and soul figure prominently as well, adding just enough balance to show these are very much fine-tuned works and not off-the-cuff creations.
Like looking out your windshield and rearview mirror simultaneously, Righteous Villains keep an ear to the past and an eye on the future in the same breath.
