Description
"Shakedown Soul" is Kelly Richey's 16th album in her 35 year career as a guitar slinger. The album is an unprecedented mix of raucous rock n roll, blues, funky bass grooves, and synthesized electronica- complete with OJ scratching, drum loops and added elements of horns, strings, and synth sequencing that combine to make "Shakedown Soul" phenomenal sonic wall of sound.
Richey's husky alto vocals and raw, ultra personal songwriting will leave you introspective, speechless and wanting more. Her guitar work is truly exceptional. The songs retain her signature Strat sound, but Richey steps out of the box to incorporate new melodies and synthesized guitar sounds that sit perfectly within the concept of the album. "Shakedown Soul" is a studio album mixed and mastered by Tobe 'Tobotius" Donohue and features a group of extraordinary musicians and back scene talent.
All the songs are original, and feature Richey on guitar and vocals, Rikk Manning on bass, and Tobe Donohoe on drums, scratching and synths. "You Wanna Rock", "Ues", "Just Uke A River'', "Love", "Afraid To Die" and "Only Going Up" were recorded earlier this year with engineer Duane Lundy at Shangri-La Studio in Lexington, Kentucky and feature Robby Cosenza on drums, Lee Carroll on keys, and Blake Cox on bass, with Duane Lundy adding his signature magic to each track.
Be prepared for an astonishing, intense sonic experience that will leave you with your jaw on the ground!
