Antonio, Rigo Righetti, Rigo, Antonio Righetti: call it what you want, but Rigo's better. Why is short, dry, musical, and because this is a chance to have a brand that makes you almost unique (think of Elvis and Bruce, to name just two which Rigo is not indifferent and which he knows a lot '). Then, get the accounts in line, make four, four letters, like "bass". He and the bass are one thing, a beautiful piece of life, and between them is an intruder, or the second wife (of course, is a bigamist because Rigo): Robby Skins, professional drummer.
everything happens in "Smiles & Troubles" (Irma Records), test number two (there was a mini "Songs From A Room" a few years ago) to a solo career had already begun when Rigo, with Robby (of course) engine, Luciano Ligabue. Previous stages, in Italy, were both in the Rocking Chairs (between Modena and Reggio, really important because it laid the foundation for everything), and those in the service of songs by Edoardo Bennato (fleeting) and Marco Conidi (concerts and a track on the disc, "A Step Away" cover of "One Step Up" came really well, with the help of another Chairs: Giorgio Buttazzo).
Rigo says, and I can confirm it, quadruple rooms, then triple, suddenly become comfortable single, then jump in the province of rock'n'roll with the stench of America at 4 and 5 star luxury of the charts guaranteed by its most acclaimed Boss, that Luciano Ligabue, as sometimes used in rock and roll, at one point wanted to continue the trip by himself and "put away" the cylinders and chrome Rigo Robby to change the engine. Here's the road paved with all kinds of experiences and collaboration with the public names of rock say a lot more genuine (and The Gang Mauro Pagani in Italy, Elliott Murphy, Robert Gordon and Willie Nile where it happens) are the re-emergence of two three-star hotels, which in this work means two square meters in less than a bathroom, no room service but a mile of open road more.
If you took everything, Rigo, the street and gave us his ideas and his taste, without committing the error of packing an album for fans of the old Rocking Chairs nor the army to stage singing memory each passing song on the radio at the Bar Mario. He brought it to the readings that loves the good movie you saw, travel, the years spent listening to music (this is useful for improve, why not just do as the good ones in Italy are "good but quite a bit, not enough to just play). The trial pack has, this record, the things he learned when he sold, in a hole for those that no longer exist, the disks of the musicians who appreciated. It came out an ambitious work and atypical, from a hard rock singer songwriter that does not sound to rock, because it is produced as would suggest the curriculum of this curious musician and skin (which must be added here Marco Montanari, guitarist role and just a few guests, including Pagani).
"Smiles & Troubles", recorded and mixed between Correggio and El Paso, Texas (really between the Via Emilia and the West, not talk) shines because it never expected, nor trivial. You can tell by how it starts "A Girl Called You," which starts with that organ when in fact you expect the voice, a voice with which Rigo, who is and remains an excellent bass player before becoming a singer, does an honest job and essential, without pointing to convenient models visible or fees charged. Here are imposed, and convenient, there's nothing, do you understand by that a little love-song 'fifties - "Stay" - that is launched into space by a millennium of work in behind the lines and voices to a program covers melancholy violin. Do you understand when the guitars away to "I Love You" recall the early REM and U2 not the great tour. Are you sure when the pace of "(Just Like) St.Thomas' rather than the mainstream rock that was the first house for Rigo in the last two decades (but something resonates in excellent" The Wrong Side Of Everything, " with that bass "looking out", so "Rigo", so "Rocking Chairs") suggests a bizarre but tasty cross between eastern Los Lobos and more experimental (the rhythm and playing on that guitar twang left channel). "Lonely Winter", "All I Really Want" and others, are songs conceived and written in private, filled with personal feelings, including thoughts, love for the woman he loves and that sense of freedom that you always leave the experience that has just ended.
There's always here, a protagonist who struggles between sweetness and bitterness, then they are inseparable components of life on the road that we walk every day. It is not completely believe in Kerouac, one who knew the road well, and his words: "Mankind is like dogs, not gods." But a lot 'of truth from there' still coming, because - to anyone, anywhere, anytime - after a stroke that life is easy checks a couple of bites at the ankles. Here then, Kerouac and others. Rigo, after making a hard and soft shaggy like life, is attractive but less than perfect, blue sky and clouds, "smiles" and "concerns", the good ones to put words together (Pavese, Miller, Pessoa, Kerouac) if it takes them behind even in the live show. "Music and readings, sometimes there may be written on the poster. Songs of Love and Hate "with sheets torn from choosing well. Things that can not be done in stages. There is a price for everything. So you go back to small clubs with a bag full of ideas and dreams not yet consumed. Best wishes. Buy the disc: www.msol.biz/

The Trio Rigo Righetti (Righetti Francesco + Leather + Pugnetti) toured Italy (tonight, May 15, takes center stage in Rome, at the Cafe Fandango, near Piazza del Pantheon) with the songs on "Smiles & Troubles" + Elvis, Robert Johnson, Leonard Cohen and more. Another dish that nothing bad will among the protagonists Rigo is a summer concert tour with Steve Wynn (Dream Syndicate), Chris Cacavas (Green On Red), Linda Potmon (Miracle 3) and others. "Wynn plays Dylan" seems much more of a "very special project," as announced by Antonio. It 's too good to be true. It will be in August - "Anto, Faaa hot" - But a little thought ...
