Description:
Robert Jon & The Wreck – Red Moon Rising [Deluxe Edition] (2024)
Review:
One of the hardest working bands around is back with Red Moon Rising. Robert Jon and the Wreck has frequently been releasing singles leading up the album. Red Moon Rising is produced by Kevin Shirley and released through Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records. It comes just a little over a year since 2023’s Ride Into The Light. The band consists of frontman Robert Jon Burrison (leads vocals/guitar), Henry James Schneekluth (lead guitar), Warren Murrel (bass), Andrew Espantman (drums), and new keyboard player Jake Abernathie. Red Moon Rising opens with the punchy rocker “Stone Cold Killer,” which was released as a single back in 2023. “Trouble” has a great groove as Robert Jon belts, “She’s T-R-O-U-B-L-E she’s trouble.” “Red Moon Rising opens with the punchy rocker “Stone Cold Killer,” which was released as a single back in 2023. “Trouble” has a great groove as Robert Jon belts, “She’s T-R-O-U-B-L-E.” “Ballad of a Broken Hearted Man” is the crown jewel of the album. Henry James has an acoustic guitar intro that gives vibes of Joe Bonamassa’s “Mountain Time” which goes into slide guitar before Robert’s vocals kick in. The music video has over 1 million views on YouTube and for good reason, this is one of the best songs the band has released. The title track “Red Moon Rising” gives the feel of a contemporary Western, very cool. “Hold On” is classic Robert Jon and the Wreck showing the band’s knack for writing catchy songs. “Down No More” is radio friendly southern rock with sing-along vocals. “Worried Mind” moves things back in the acoustic direction and is tastefully complimented by Henry’s slide. Robert Jon and the Wreck show no signs of slowing down on Red Moon Rising. After ten plus years of grinding it out with consistently great albums, Red Moon Rising gives the feeling the band is on the verge of a real breakthrough, so enjoy the ride and get wrecked. — bluesrockreview
