Vintage Trouble - The Bomb Shelter Sessions 2011

Inspired by the likes of Otis Redding, Ike & Tina Turner, andRay Charles, Los Angeles quartet Vintage Trouble's "primitive soul" sound was a deliberate attempt to re-create the era of vinyl records and jukebox joints. The brainchild ofJames Brown-esque vocalist Ty Taylor, previously the frontman for mid-'90s R&B act Dakota Moon and a formerRock Star: INXS contestant, and guitarist Nalle Colt, the band began working on material in its small Venice Beach home studio in early 2010, before recruiting former 2nd Day Crushbassist Rick Barrio Dill and drummer Richard Danielson to complete the lineup. Within two weeks, Vintage Trouble were performing at shows across the Laurel Canyon area they had relocated to, and just a few months later, teamed up with producer Rogers Masson (Day of Fire) to record their debut album in an old-school-style period of just three days. After signing a deal with legendary manager Doc McGhee (Bon Jovi,Mötley Crüe), they concentrated their efforts on the U.K., where viewers had responded well to their performance on BBC2's flagship music show, Later... with Jools Holland, and spent much of 2011 touring up and down the country. After releasing their first record, The Bomb Shelter Sessions, in the same year, they supported Queen's Brian May and musical theater star Kerry Ellis on their joint tour, and opened for Bon Jovi on the U.K. leg of the band's Circle Tour.  Echoing the vintage blues-rock of Chuck Berry and Led Zeppelin, and the timeless soul of Otis Redding and Sam Cooke, The Bomb Shelter Sessions is Californian four-piece Vintage Trouble's attempt to re-create the era of vinyl records and juke joints. Produced by Rogers Masson (Daughtry,Day of Fire), and recorded live in just three days at the Bomb Shelter studios in Laurel Canyon, its 11 retro tracks, described by James Brown-esque frontman Ty Taylor as "primitive soul," include the singles "Nancy Lee" and "Nobody Told Me."
