From the Peel:

In 2011, after more than 20 years of intense gigging and recording, Chris Robinson set off to shape something new, a fresh rock mythology, a breathing kaleidoscopic thing stuffed with chooglin’ soul, bedrock boogie and shuffling wisdom birthed in intimate clubs and amongst the tall trees of the Golden State and eventually taken nationwide as the Chris Robinson Brotherhood evolved. What began as an experiment without expectations turned into a 118-show journey for Robinson (lead vocals, guitar), Neal Casal (guitar, vocals), Adam MacDougall (keys, vocals), George Sluppick(drums) and Mark Dutton (bass, vocals) that surprised these seasoned pros as music of unshakeable solidity and exuberant reach poured out of them, a New Cosmic California sound with tendrils reaching to the original Fillmore West, Topanga Canyon and outwards towards far horizons that finds its fruition on the CRB‘s studio debut Big Moon Ritual (arriving in June), to be followed by companion album The Magic Door (September).

“After 20 years in the game, Robinson is still hell-bent on innovating, unearthing different aspects of himself as a songwriter and performer, and he thrives when surrounded by guys like this who understand on a cellular level that safe and simple isn’t the way to roll with Chris.” – Jambase
