John Krupa Project - Lifetime On the Run (Vinyl)

This is the debut single, released as a vinyl 45, from The John Krupa Project. The blueiest of the two cuts, My Baby Told Me Not To, features the great Jason Ricci on harmonica. These songs are the blues with a real Stones feel. The sound is the sum product of experiences lived.

The John Krupa Project is based in New Orleans and includes Maddie Pebble on bass and Brian Wells on drums. Production is basic, maybe even primal, not surprising from a guy that cut his teeth playing punk back east. but that suits the songs very well. Lifetime On The Run is street level rock & roll that pays homage to groups like The Faces and The Rolling Stones, featuring some quite tasty slide work from Krupa. The flipside, My Baby Told Me To is a driving blues with a real Mississippi hill country feel to it, and for my money should be considered the “A” side. These were recorded last summer in New Orleans and mastered for vinyl for maximum sonic output and sound quality.
