Interview: Robby Krieger of The Doors Talks Soul Savages, Jim Morrison, Butts Band & Doors Mythos

In this exclusive episode of LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl, host Scott Dudelson speaks to one of the greatest guitarists in Rock and Roll History - Robby Krieger of The Doors. As founding member and guitarist of The Doors, Krieger wrote some of the bands most iconic songs including "Light My Fire," "Love Her Madly" and "Touch Me." Over the last forty years Krieger has carved out a career as a jazz/instrumental musician releasing nearly a dozen albums over that time (not including his collaboration with former Doors members in The Butts Band which we discuss in this episode) More recently Krieger has been performing with his jazz-funk instrumental group, The Soul Savages, which recently released their debut album (and its a super great album!).   In this episode Dudelson and Robby dive deep into the new Soul Savages album as well as Robby's new autobiography "Set the Night On Fire" which details his life in The Doors and beyond. Providing a rare glimpse into Krieger's creative process, we discuss the making of The Soul Savages album and lay out the case why its Robby's best solo work to date. We also discuss a wide range of topics including The Butts Band, how Robby got the nickname The Worm,' the human side of Jim Morrison, the making of "American Prayer," who Robby thinks does a great job covering Jim Morrison singing, as well as Kriegers personal battles with substance abuse, the mythos of The Doors, Robby's favorite Doors album/song and much more. This episode is a great listen for any fan of The Doors, Robby Krieger and Rock and Roll History.
