Alastair Greene - Trouble At Your Door - Music Video
Blues and rock have met at many different crossroads. From Cream and Johnny
Winter to Stevie Ray Vaughan and Gov't Mule these blues rock recipes are often
boiled down to a simple trio. Such is the melting pot of influences and
presentation of the Alastair Greene Band. Greene formed his first blues rock
trio with former members of the legendary Southern California band The Pontiax
in 1997. The Alastair Greene Band (AGB) has gone through several incarnations
and line-ups over the years and had included alumni of the Steve Miller Band,
Paul Butterfield Band, and Junior Wells Band. The AGB has also backed many blues
artists in the studio and on stage, including Delta Groove recording artists
Mitch Kashmar, Frank Goldwasser, as well as the incomparable James Harman.
Currently, the line-up has solidified with Alastair Greene on guitar and vocals,
Jim Rankin on bass and vocals, and Austin Beede on drums.
Not only is Greene a blues rock guitar slinging and singing front man, but he
has also served many years as a side man to some legendary musicians. Currently,
Greene is the touring guitarist with Alan Parsons and has been touring
internationally with the English pop/progressive rock veteran since 2010. After
Greene played on Parsons' 2004 release A Valid Path, Alan was quoted as saying,
"Alastair should be out playing guitar with the biggest bands in the world. I
belive it's just a matter of time." Heady praise indeed coming from the man who
engineered Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, served as second engineer on the
last two albums by the Beatles, and has also sold millions of albums with his
own Alan Parsons Project. When the guitar slot for Parsons' band opened in 2010,
Greene got the call. Alastair has also appeared on albums by high profile
artists such as drum legend Aynsely Dunbar as well as Toad the Wet Sprocket
front man Glen Phillips.
Alastair Greene has released four studio albums and one live record since
2002. His fifth studio recording will be the Eclecto Groove Records offering
Trouble at Your Door. This is sure to be his most explosive recording thus far.
The Alastair Greene Band combines a deep respect for traditional forms and
themes, but adds a modern approach as an innate ability to shuffle with the best
of them, while Jim Rankin's rock solid rhythm & blues and classic rock
influences on both bass and vocals have been a welcomed addition to the band.
"This is the happiest I've been musically in a long time," Greene said recently.
"These guys are so much fun to play music with. We've got a great chemistry, and
I can't wait for the world to hear it."
