Product Description
The wait is over. There s no denying the buzz surrounding King King s highly anticipated third studio album, Reaching For The Light. At a time when the shuffled playlist holds sway, along comes nine hot tracks that defy you to press skip.
In 2015 'Reaching For The Light' is the main event. This third studio album is set to rubber-stamp King King s status as the boldest creative force in the
game, and dashes the hopes of rivals out to take their crown.
'We re really proud of this album,' says front man Alan Nimmo. 'It s faster, louder, more energetic and more exciting. It s got the potential to blow the roof off...'
Don t call it a comeback. King King has never been away. Two years may have passed since the Glasgow outfit s all-conquering second album, Standing In The Shadows, established them as pack-leaders of the British scene, but Alan Nimmo (vocals/guitar), Lindsay Coulson (bass), Wayne Proctor (drums) and Bob
Fridzema (keyboards) have barely cooled their heels or left the headlines.
'I d say there s a natural progression from Standing In The Shadows', explains
Alan, 'but on this album, we were delving more into a classic rock style. I grew up listening to bands like Free, Bad Company, early Whitesnake and Thunder. All of those influences were starting to show during Standing In The Shadows and now they re really coming through. We ve always had tunes that were smoldering and soulful. Now, there s stuff that s a bit faster-paced, too...'
There were the five triumphs at the 2014 British Blues Awards (including gongs for Best Album and Best Band ). The nods came from top media
tastemakers, from DJ Paul Jones to the Classic Rock: Blues Magazine. The blood and thunder of their international headline tours, and recent support slots with John Mayall gave the British blues-boom godfather a tough act to follow.
