Supergroup W.R.D. came together earlier this year at the Color Red Studios to record four tracks. Today, JamBase premiered the well-deserved holiday treat of “Bobby’s Boogaloo” featuring the powerhouse lineup of keyboardist Robert Walter, guitarist Eddie Roberts and drummer Adam Deitch. 

“Bobby’s Boogaloo” is the last of the four W.R.D. tracks issued by Color Red. Walter, Roberts and Deitch previously put out a 7″ vinyl record featuring “Happy Hour” and “Corner Pocket.” The trio also shared the track “Red Sunset.” 

“We wrote all these WRD tunes very quickly right before the session and recorded everything in one or two takes,” Walter said. “I wanted this one to capture that casual and relaxed vibe of late 60s Blue Note and Prestige funky records. It just sounds like friends in a room jamming together.”

Robert sat down with The JamBase Podcast last month in Brooklyn to talk about his musical influences and his new record. Episode 23 featuring RW is available now 👂 

 

Episode 23 of The JamBase Podcast contains chats with keyboardist Robert Walter and guitarist Ryley Walker. Both interviews follow “The Rundown” opening segment featuring a discussion of recent news stories. 

Walter talked “Musical Mentors” with JamBase’s Scott Bernstein in Williamsburg, where he had performed multiple times the previous day as part of this year’s Brooklyn Comes Alive. The California native takes Scotty through his musical evolution and the many influences that helped inform the music on his new Robert Walter’s 20th Congress‘ album Spacesuit. Robert also chatted about his favorite keyboardists, lessons learned during his first tours with The Greyboy Allstars, his time living in New Orleans and scoring films with Mike Andrews (Elgin Park). Additionally, Walter shared insights into working with Mike Gordon and dove into a variety of other topics. 

JamBase’s Andy Kahn sat with Ryley Walker for a “Tour Stories” segment before his recent show at 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis. Ryley and AK start by discussing the former’s upcoming album of Dave Matthews Band covers, The Lillywhite Sessions. Walker reminisces about seeing DMB on tour and explains how his love for the band led to the upcoming record. Ryley then tells a couple of wild tales from the road, first detailing a run-in with the authorities during a stop in Asheville, North Carolina and then getting into the painful result of trying to score cocaine while on tour in Italy. The chat ends with talk about the guitarist’s day-to-day experiences on tour, finding crash space from town to town for himself and his band mates and more. 

ScottyB and AK begin the episode with “The Rundown.” The pair recap and share their takes on Phish‘s first two shows of the fall, which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday in Albany. On a more somber note, the pair discuss the passing of Railroad Earth’s Andy Goessling and the many tributes that came in the days that followed.
