European Blues Challenge finalists Voodoo Ramble are led by vocalist/guitarist Boris Zamba. The band is known for guitar-led songs with vivid imagery and a groove laden style which incorporates rock, blues and soulful Southern rock influences.
As Boris says: “The Allman Brothers were where it all started for me.”
‘Midnight Ride’ is the latest collaboration between Boris Zamba and lyricist Pete Feenstra, with special guest the expressive guitar playing of Muddy Manninen.
As Boris says: “Muddy’s mixture of electric guitar, lap steel guitar and fill-ins gave the song a new dimension.
We started with Pete’s evocative lyrics – which I call “unearthly”- as they create an experience even without the music. So when it came to actually building the music round the narrative, it was a real joy.
Dragutin Smokrovic aka ‘The Fig’, gave the track its sonic depth with his Mixing, mastering and production. Above all he really captured the intensity when I went head to head with Muddy.”
Pete adds: “For me, this is the perfect example of when lyrical imagery magically turns into music. I had this nebulous film noir idea set in old Victorian era docks with creaking boats and the need to escape, before Boris and Muddy magically transformed it into a Southern rock biker anthem.”
