NEW ALBUM FOR HIGHER OUT MAY 15
Ryan Montbleau |
Ryan Montbleau broke with tradition on his new album, For Higher (out May 15), leaving behind the comfort of his touring band for a whirlwind series of sessions in New Orleans with some of the city’s best musicians.
Producer Ben Ellman of Galactic assembled an all-star cast–including keyboard/B-3 player Ivan Neville, guitar master Anders Osborne, drummer Simon Lott, and Meters bassist George Porter Jr.–to push Montbleau’s soulful and soaring voice into uncharted territory.
While a few of the album’s 10 tracks were already part of the Ryan Montbleau Band’s ever-growing live repertoire, the majority, including four handpicked cover tunes — stone soul nuggets from Bill Withers, Curtis Mayfield, forgotten supergroup Rhinoceros, and the late Muscle Shoals guitarist Eddie Hinton — came together spontaneously with little prepwork.
“I have a band that I’ve been touring with for years, and usually by the time we head into the studio the songs are pretty well mapped out,” says Montbleau. “This is a totally different record than I’ve ever made.”

HOWLIN RAIN HITS THE ROAD
PROMOTING NEW ALBUM THE RUSSIAN WILDS
Howlin Rain |
San Francisco Bay Area-based power quintet Howlin Rain will be heading out on tour this February in support of their third full-length album The Russian Wilds.
The Russian Wilds, due out February 14 on American Recordings, passionately protests the popular notion that heroic rock music is a thing of golden ages passed. Formed by bandleader-singer-guitarist Ethan Miller in 2004, as a melodic off shoot of blazing new-psych innovators Comets On Fire, Howlin Rain caught the attention of uber-producer Rick Rubin, who signed them to his American Recordings label. Rubin has since involved himself deeply with the band’s subsequent musical evolution, including producing The Russian Wilds.
Along with Miller, Howlin Rain is: Raj Ojha (drums, percussion), Cyrus Comiskey (bass), Joel Robinow (keyboards, guitar, vocals) and Isaiah Mitchell (guitar, vocals).
Listen to the lead off track “Phantom In The Valley” here.
