Sam Doores of The Deslondes To Release Solo Debut March 13th – Rolling Stone Country Premieres “Let It Roll” Video Today

Sam Doores, formerly of The Deslondes and Hurray for the Riff Raff, is set to release his self-titled solo debut March 13th, 2020 via New West Records. The 13-song set was recorded in Berlin by Anders ‘Ormen’ Christopherson, in Nashville by Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Hurray for the Riff Raff) and in Doores’ homebase of New Orleans. Written on-and-off over the course of several years, Doores’ captivating solo debut is classic and contemporary all at once. Blending traditional southern roots, New Orleans R&B, and psychedelic landscapes, Sam Doores is a cinematic and infectious collection that reckons with heartache and loss, love and gratitude, fresh starts and, ultimately, a whole lotta change. Working in Berlin, Doores found himself collaborating with an inspiring cast of characters from all over the world assembled by the producer Christopherson, resulting in a wild international “Wrecking Crew” of sorts. The album also features the New Orleans jazz mainstays Tuba Skinny, Mat Davidson of Twain, as well as Doores’ former bandmate Alynda Lee Segarra of Hurray for the Riff Raff, on the duet “Other Side of Town.”

Claire Ridgely – “Busy Body” – out now!

““Busy Body” is a familiar story of heartbreak for myself and many others. I wanted to capture the entire picture of a bad relationship, including the part where you move on and heal.


The recording experience with Pops & Poolboy was really unique. We were at a tiny cottage in the country; with no wifi, all we could do was make music. Pops started to strum something on the guitar, I began to hum the melody, and it just all fell together with the lyrics and beat. Since its conception at the cottage, “Busy Body” has gone through some changes; I wanted to make sure I was telling the story right, and expressing the emotion that it deserved.”
