Hailed as "Midwestern rock heroes" by American Songwriter, Red Wanting Blue has spent the last 20 years establishing themselves as one of the indie world's most enduring and self-sufficient acts. For their powerful album The Wanting the band handed production duties over to acclaimed singer/songwriter Will Hoge, who helped them create their most ambitious, fully realized collection yet. The record draws on many of the group's traditional strengths-indelible melodies, infectious hooks and explosive performances. Alternately triumphant and melancholic, the songs on The Wanting are both muscular and nuanced, with frontman Scott Terry's epic, heartfelt vocals soaring above the band's gritty brand of driving rock and roll.
