Little River Band is set to release Cuts Like A Diamond, their latest album of new material, August 27th on Frontiers Records. Cuts Like A Diamond marks their first new release of new studio original songs since 2003’s Test of Time.
Fronted by 34 year-LRB veteran Wayne Nelson, (lead vocals, bass), Little River Band now features an energized line up of: Richard Herring and Greg Hind on guitars and vocals; keyboardist/ vocalist Chris Marion; and drummer Ryan Ricks.
Cuts Like A Diamond features a myriad of songs that can only be categorized as “classic Little River Band.” The first single, “The Lost And The Lonely”, released in July 2013, is a poignant ode to the sacrifice made by the military men and women of the world. Other highlights include the funky, free-wheelin’ groove of “You Dream I’ll Drive”, and “Love Is,” the album’s closer and a testament to the power of life’s greatest emotion.
Cuts Like A Diamond and the group’s new alliance with Frontiers Records, marks a turning point in the history of a group whose hits remained a staple on radio stations around the world. Recalls Nelson: “Frontiers approached us 2012 to say they wanted to expand their catalog and they wanted a CD of new material from Little River Band. They wanted a west coast 1980s sound, just like what the band used to do. At the same time, we also knew we had to embrace the new LRB and the more contemporary sound we had been moving into. In the end, I think we accomplished both. We are very excited. From start to finish, we know this is a quality project.” |
