Right On The Edge (feat. Gregg Wright)

#94 in The Need To Know Badass Blues Instrumentals Series, Right On The Edge, features the truly electrifying blues guitar playing of Gregg Wright. A Louisiana Music Hall of Fame inductee and a Living Legend Blues Award winner, Gregg's life is the story of modern Blues guitar and dues-paying. From playing every bar across the American South through the 1970's including opening several times for the greats like, Albert King and Freddie King, to the historic 1984 The Jackson's Victory Tour (the tour for MJ's Thriller!), Greg has been there and done that. Since the career-changing Jacksons' tour, Gregg has been one of the first call LA session cats. Platinum albums and world tours with Mick Fleetwood, Michael Jackson, the Gap Band, Spencer Davis and others followed. Gregg began the new Millenium as the featured soloist on the IMAX film soundtrack “Ocean Oasis” with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and has continues to make records and rip it up internationally fronting his own band. Don't miss him when you have the chance!

The backing band on this track is Rich Kirch (John Lee Hooker 1984-2001) on rhythm guitar, Marcus David (Nick Gravenites) on drums, and myself on bass. The track was recorded at Skunkworks in Capitola CA. Mixed by the Grammy winning Godfather of Grunge, Jack Endino (Nirvana, Nando Reis), and as almost always, masterfully mastered by Alex McCollough at True East Mastering.
