Rio Grande - Ramblin' Soul (2017)

Ramblin 'Soul, the new album from Rio Grande, follows the line of its two predecessors: mixing the various influences with sub genres of blues in an entirely authorial production. This new work was recorded and mixed between August 2016 and July 2017, at the Groovie Music Studio in Piracicaba (SP). The production was by vocalist and guitarist Claudio Formiga, the mix was made by Rio Grande and the mastering was performed by Daniel Lanchinho.
As in previous albums, the special guests are prominent musicians in the Brazilian blues scene: Flávio Naves (keyboard), Paulo Coruja (voice and harmonica) and Marceleza Bottleneck (guitar). In the 13 songs of Ramblin 'Soul, Rio Grande took advantage of the various instruments used in their concerts: besides the classic guitar, harmonica, bass and batter, appear Parlor guitars, double, acoustic double bass, washboard and even an anvil.
The songs on the new album go through the elements of classic blues, electric, funk, rock and southern rock.
