A singularity is a profound event such as the \u201cbig bang,\u201d which initiated the creation of the universe. It is also the name of the Robby Krieger painting that adorns his new album cover.<\/p>\n
Robby Krieger was the lead guitarist of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame rock group, The Doors. While the members of The Doors shared writing credits for the most part, he wrote such well-known songs as \u201cLove Her Madly,\u201d \u201cTouch Me,\u201d \u201cLove Me Two Times,\u201d and \u201cLight My Fire.\u201d Rolling Stone Magazine <\/i>named him one of the 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time.<\/p>\n
While there are still elements of The Doors\u2019 music in his current release, this instrumental album shows that he has evolved and moved in different directions. <\/p>\n
His love of flamenco music forms the foundation of Singularity. <\/i>The album begins with \u201cRussian Caravan Intro,\u201d which is a solo Krieger playing just a flamenco guitar. Drawing on the old Doors song \u201cSpanish Caravan,\u201d he channels the Spanish guitar master Segovia in tone and phrasing. This leads to the ten-minute \u201cRussian Caravan.\u201d It begins similar to the music of a bull fight complete with a horn section. Drums, keyboards, and bass support Krieger\u2019s flamenco improvisational excursions. <\/p>\n
\u201cEvent Horizon (intro)\u201d and the longer \u201cEvent Horizon\u201d continue this style, but elements of jazz can be found in the mix.<\/p>\n
\u201cSouthern Cross\u201d with its excellent slide guitar and \u201cLet It Ride\u201d are the most traditional tracks. They are stripped to basics, with only bass, drums, and keyboards to support Krieger\u2019s gutar. The tracks are more melodic and are reminiscent of some of his work with The Doors. <\/p>\n
Singularity <\/i>finds him taking some chances, which is always nice to see in an artist over forty years into his career. It may not appeal to everyone, but if you are a fan of the guitar and particularly of Robby Krieger, it is a nice and interesting way to spend an hour. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":30425,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[8616],"rating":[5617],"class_list":["post-42088","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-robby-krieger","rating-rating-b-plus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/42088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42088"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/42088\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=42088"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=42088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
