Kevin Wheeler & KL&R2 – I Got The Blues CD/EP +7"+MP3

Kevin Wheeler & KL&R2 have built a career out of playing music with his high pitched vocals, shredding lyrics, and the strangely optimistic melancholy that makes up the meat and potatoes of Kevin Wheeler & KL&R2.

I Got The Blues was recorded at The Sweet Spot Studio in Annandale Virginia with the help of mixing engineer Nico. The history and vibe of that setting laid the groundwork for what was to come. The band’s signature Freddie King's style blues riffs with souring  effort, heavy drumming by his sidekick son, Kevin Jr.,

lead guitar Keith  Williams, the deep mellow licks from Lewis Greenhowe bass guitar and Mike Bella rhythm guitar formulated a blues album capable of leaving blues lover’s shaking, in a time capsule of pleasure.

The resulting album is a thought-provoking headbanger that is the band’s most cohesive album to date.

[Limited edition picture disc vinyl pressing also available.]
