The fourth solo album from Randy Lee Riviere is a collection of heavy duty, whisky soaked blues and roots rock with big guitars and pumping drums
The Montana singer- songwriter teamed up again with renowned producer, drummer Tom Hambridge, to cowrite and record the session in Nashville along with studio aces, Doug Lancio, Bob Britt, Michael Saint-Leon, Mike Rojas and Robert Kearns. The team takes Riviere’s ideas and fleshes them out into thought provoking works of art full of ear candy.
Randy Lee Riviere’s music can certainly be described as blues. It could also be described as blues rock, rock, country rock, country, roots/Americana and more. “It’s all music to me,” Riviere explains. “Songs come to me; I don’t go looking for them. Since I’ve been working with Tom Hambridge, I’ve been leaning more towards blues. He’s having a big influence on me. We’re doing co-writing and having fun. In addition to being a great producer and drummer, he is a special song writer. I don’t get into all the awards and all the recognition he certainly has received; I don’t let anyone try to prove anything based on their authority. But through and through our work I have been stung by his talents. Tom’s songwriting with me has usually been him dropping little lines into ideas that just work. In very clever ways Very clever. He has an interesting mind.”
Randy’s new album, Farmhand Blues, is another testament to all the different things that fly through his head. As you cruise through the fifteen tunes on this album you’ll hear lots of blues and blues rock tunes sprinkled with the other genres mentioned above.
