Robby Krieger - The Ritual Begins At Sundown

The Ritual Begins At Sundown is the seventh solo studio album by American guitarist and songwriter Robby Krieger, released in August 2020 via The Players Club.

The legendary guitarist and songwriter of The Doors and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Robby Krieger releases his first solo album in 10 years, since 2010s Grammy nominated Singularity. The Ritual Begins At Sundown is released via his new home at The Players Club, a division of the Mascot Label Group.

The Doors weren’t just one of the most iconic bands of their generation, but one of the most influential bands in rock history and Robby Krieger was responsible for writing some of their biggest hits in “Light My Fire”, “Love Me Two Times”, “Touch Me” and “Love Her Madly”.

On his new album Kreiger has once again worked with his long time writing partner and co-producer Arthur Barrow. Barrow worked with Frank Zappa through the 1970s-80s as well as Giorgio Moroder, Joe Cocker, Diana Ross and Janet Jackson and worked on soundtracks for Top Gun and Scarface. The album also features other Zappa alumni Jock Ellis (Trombone), Sal Marquez (Trumpet) and Tommy Mars (Keys) as well as AeB Bryne (Flute), Vince Denim (Sax), Chuck Manning (Sax), Joel Wackerman (Drums) and Joel Taylor (Drums).

This album is a limited edition on 180 gram yellow coloured vinyl with a digital download code, pressed in Europe via The Players Club.
