Robby Krieger, gitarzysta zespołu The Doors jest jednym z najbardziej wpływowych muzyków w historii rocka. Jego flamencowo-jazzowe zagrywki oraz partie solowe zaprowadziły gitarę elektryczną do miejsc, w których jeszcze nigdy wcześniej nie była.
Jest autorem takich hitów The Doors jak "Light My Fire", "Love Me Two Times", "Touch Me" i "Love Her Madly".

Płyta "Singularity" była nominowana do GRAMMY. W studio legendarny gitarzysta zgromadził liczne grono znakomitości, jak Tommy Mars, Vinnie Colaiuta czy Kevin Brandon (Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder, Outkast, Aretha Franklin).

"Singularity", jak artysta sam opowiada jest swoistym hołdem oddanym trzem wielkim inspiracjom jego życia: zespołowi The Doors (to nie powinno dziwić), Milesowi Davisowi (prace na utworem 'Russian Caravan', który jest dedykowany słynnemu trębaczowi Krieger wraz z Arthurem Barrowem rozpoczęli jeszcze za jego życia, dokończyli dopiero na płycie "Singularity") i Johnowi Coltrane'owi.

Niezwykła to płyta, w której schodzą się tak różne scieżki, inspiracje, doświadczenia... jednak osobowość lidera z charakterem i pomysłem na siebie, wiedzącym jak chce brzmieć, potrafiącym napisać dobre piosenki, jak i zaproszeni do studia muzycy potrafią wszystko to scalić w jeden, progresywny, skrzący się zmysłowymi pomysłami kawałek

Robby Krieger posiada własny rozpoznawalny styl i to coś jeszcze, co powoduje, że przeszedł już do historii muzyki.

LEGENDARY DOORS GUITARIST, ROBBY KRIEGER,
RECEIVES MUCH-DESERVED GRAMMY AWARD NOMINATION
There are few guitarists in rock history that have managed to scale the heights that Robby Krieger managed while a member of one of the all-time great groups, The Doors. Krieger continues to release original music that strikes a chord in music listeners worldwide, as evidenced by his critically acclaimed solo album, 2010's 'Singularity.' But the greatest proof is thatKrieger was recently nominated for a Grammy Award, in the "Best Pop Instrumental Album" category, alongside the likes of Gerald Albright, Larry Carlton & Tak Matsumoto, Kenny G, and Kirk Whalum. In order for an album to be considered for this category, it must contain 51% or more playing time of instrumental tracks.

"I am super proud to be nominated," says Krieger, "Especially as hard as Arthur Barrow [the album's co-producer] and I worked on this album. We started working on the song 'Russian Caravan' as a tribute to Miles Davis, shortly after he passed away years ago. We never gave up on the project, even though it took a lot longer than we planned. Believe it or not, we actually said, 'Man this is good enough to get a Grammy!' And here we are, nominated. Thank you!". Also incredibly pleased with the nomination is the owner of Oglio Records, Carl Caprioglio, the label that released 'Singularity.' "Oglio Records has been in business since 1993. We have worked with many great artists, but I have to pinch myself every time I think of my good fortune to be working with the legendary Robby Krieger. I will certainly go down in history as one of the luckiest guys in the independent record label business". Robby is represented by Tom Vitorino Management.

Robby Krieger was one of The Doors' principle songwriters, penning the classics "Light My Fire," "Love Me Two Times," "Love Her Madly," and "Touch Me." 'Singularity' co-producer Arthur Barrow is also a multi-instrumentalist musician, best known for his stint as a bass player and band leader for Frank Zappa in the late 70's and early 80's. Arthur appeared on The Doors 'An American Prayer' album, and the two have worked together on nearly all of Krieger’s solo work and performances.

Along with Barrow, 'Singularity' features a number of Zappa alumni, including Tommy Mars, Bruce Fowler, Larry Klimas, and Vinnie Colaiuta (all of which are featured on the album’s aforementioned standout track, "Russian Caravan") as well as one of the last appearances from Little Feat’s Richie Hayward. 'Singularity' also features two additional long-time Krieger collaborators, Dale Alexander on "Solar Wind" and Kevin "Brandino" Brandon on "Event Horizon". Additionally, Brandino has appeared on Krieger’s 'Cinematix' album for Oglio Records, plus albums from Outkast, Justin Timberlake, and Mary J. Blige, and played over two decades with the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.

The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards will air on CBS on February 13, 2011, at 8pm ET/PT. Tune in to see if Robby takes home the prized gilded gramophone statuette!

Liner Notes:
"SINGULARITY" was named after my painting which we used for the album cover. A singularity is a profound event such as the "big bang", which was the creation of the universe. I could have started with something smaller, such as, say the destruction of a galaxy or two, but I figured what the hell. Hopefully, the music evokes thoughts along those lines. I'm very happy, that after all these years, I was able to record some flamenco guitar, which comprises the intro's for two of the songs, 'Russian Caravan" and "Event Horizon" I'm also very happy with some of the slide guitar such as on "Southern Cross" and "Let It Slide"
