With their new album, Tales of a Rich Girl, which is currently #1 on the Australian Blues Charts, Kings & Associates, continue the steady ascent started with their win for Most Outstanding New Act at the prestigious 2014 Adelaide Roots and Blues Awards in their native Australia.
Those who have followed this exceptional band from the beginning likely won’t be surprised; over the course of their career, Kings & Associates have developed into one of Australia’s most unique and exciting modern blues ensembles. A mere two years on, they’ve quickly become a regular draw at such topnotch Australian music festivals as Mordi, Geetroit, Blenheim, Echuca, Semaphore, and Bendigo, as well as premier venues such as the Cherrybar (Melbourne), Lazybones (Sydney), and the Gov (Adelaide).
The ten original tracks comprising Tales of a Rich Girl,, mark the culmination of two years of writing, touring and recording. Another landmark release for the band, it boasts the talents of several highly respected collaborators. The tunes were originally tracked over six days in Los Angeles a year ago with seven-time Grammy winner Jim Scott (the Rolling Stones, Tedeschi Trucks, Sting, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Foo Fighters, Matchbox 20, Crowded House) producing and engineering the sessions. Scott himself personally reached out to the band to express his interest in taking part.
After a brief nine day trip across the Pacific, the album was tracked and the tapes were taken back to Adelaide for a final edit. The band returned to the States to mix the album in Music City having secured the services of another industry legend, Nashville-based engineer Vance Powell. Powell’s credits include Grammy wins for his work with the Dixie Chicks and Jack White, and most recently, production for Chris Stapleton’s breakthrough effort.
Ultimately, between tracking in LA with Jim Scott, and mixing in Nashville with Vance Powell, the band racked up over 34,000 miles during the eight months of recording.
