​Alastair Greene (from the album The New World Blues available on Whiskey Bayou Records)
Blues muses were alongside Alastair Greene when the west coast musician was putting together tracks for his recent release, The New World Blues. Produced by Whiskey Bayou Records label head Tab Benoit at his Houma, Louisiana studio, The New World Blues is album for the times. Alastair Greene nods to the spirits that moved him, stating ‘I’m not a prophet by any stretch of the imagination, but this record is even more relevant now than when I wrote it in 2019’. Division and separation are the topics for “Wontcha Tell Me” while financial woes are mirrored in “Back in the Poorhouse” as the instrumental spits and snarls its opinion. 
The New World Blues opens its doors with first cut “Living Today” setting the stage for tales of planet earth 2020 while the title track closes the album with blistering guitar riffs matching the lyrical angst. Forming the Alastair Greene Band in 1997, the guitar man has balanced his own releases with stints as a member of Alan Parson Project, Starship featuring Mickey Thomas, and, recently, backing Sugaray Rayford. The New World Blues draws a line in the sand, Alastair Greene takes a stab at big money with both his words and guitar notes for “No Longer Amused” and finds “Heroes” in memories of mentors as The New World Blues finds a smile taking a stroll along “Bayou Smile”.
