High Water I

2018 release. Pulled together by guitarist Rich Robinson, The Magpie Salute continue the storyline he began in the Black Crowes with guitarist Marc Ford and bassist Sven Pipien. Meanwhile, vocalist John Hogg shared Hookah Brown with Robinson as keyboardist Matt Slocum and drummer Joe Magistro both joined him for solo records and tours over the years. Now, these six individuals conjure magic on their full-length debut of original material, High Water I for 2018. Its the recontextualization of playing with one another, Robinson states. When I was putting this thing together, I was thinking about how even though we may not have played for almost a decade, it just comes back immediately. The chemistry is unexplainable. Of course, Im the same guy who played with the Black Crowes and wrote all of those songs, but this is a different context for myself, Marc, and Sven.
