Red Red (USA/BE) Alabama and (debut album) title track. A song about Mr Clarence Reeves, the Alabama Kid. Artwork single by DJ VrDnck Recorded at SputnikStudio Mastered by Shelle Dierickx After years of working on their sound and building a reputation as a fierce live act, American/Belgian quintet Red Red are finally releasing their debut LP, ‘The Alabama Kid’. While fans of guitar-slinging acts like Blackberry Smoke, The Black Keys or Gary Clarke Jr. will find plenty to like in the album, Red Red brings in sounds never heard before in the genre. The band combines eclectic elements like the sampling magic of Belgian hip-hop turntablist DJ Courtasock and the world influences of American singer/guitarist (and ethnomusicologist) Tom Beardslee into a sound that stands way out from their contemporaries. In ‘The Alabama Kid’ the band shows off this wide range of influences, from the Robert Palmer thump of the album’s opener 'Lay Me Down Marie' to the bluegrass psychedelia of 'The Cuckoo', to the drum-and-bass boogie of 'I Gotta Know'. Alabama Kid words: T.
