The Black Moods Enlist Robby Krieger and Diamante On New Single ‘Roadhouse Blues’ (The Doors)

Modern classic rock trio The Black Moods are excited to announce their new single, an electrifying cover of The Doors’ 1970’s hit “Roadhouse Blues,” which features none other than The Doors’ guitarist Robby Krieger himself and rock singer-songwriter Diamante. The track will be available digitally Friday, October 20.

Recorded at Krieger’s Los Angeles studio, Love Street Sound, the band recorded the cover with most of the same gear used by The Doors in its original recording, keeping its nostalgic and gritty sound while allowing The Black Moods to add their modern flair. The Black Moods is Josh Kennedy (vocals, guitar), Chico Diaz (drums), and Jordan Hoffman (bass). The electrifying rock and roll band today debuted the music video for “Roadhouse Blues (feat. Robby Krieger and Diamante),” which features live footage from the recording session.

“The Doors have meant a lot to us, from our band name to the way we approach playing and songwriting,” shares Kennedy. “Getting to record this song with Robby 53 years after he recorded it with The Doors is something I can’t describe…just unbelievable. Having Diamante add her incredible vocals on it just took it over the top.”

“Lately, I seem to meet more and more young muscians who are into The Doors,” says Krieger. “It was really fun recording ‘Roadhouse Blues’ with The Black Moods. They seem to connect with 60’s style music.”

The Black Moods have done it again with their cracking new cover of “Roadhouse Blues” by The Doors featuring Robby Krieger and Diamante. The band fires up this classic into a contemporary rock and roller with modern styling. It doesn’t hurt that living legend Krieger adds his guitar riffs to the song. Kennedy’s voice couldn’t be better on this tune, as he and sultry vocalist Diamante trade verses to add extra heat. The video reveals the band, Krieger and Diamante recording in the studio as they infuse this classic with fresh energy and gusto. Bravo.

The Black Moods play raw, amplified rock & roll. A classic power trio for the modern world, they turn the genre’s timeless ingredients—electric guitar, anthemic hooks, and percussive punch—into a sound that’s both contemporary and climactic. Based out of Phoenix, AZ, the band have relentlessly toured across North America alongside acts including The Doors’ Robby Krieger, Shinedown, Jane’s Addiction, Whitesnake, Collective Soul, The Dead Daisies and The Gin Blossoms and made festival appearances at Aftershock and Roger Clyne’s Circus Mexicus. The trio released their fourth album Into The Night in 2022 via Wit Hustle/The Orchard/Steelhorse Entertainment with Grammy Award-nominated producer Johnny “K” Karkazis (Disturbed, 3 Doors Down) which was lauded by Metal Edge Magazine as “raw, riff-heavy, blues-drenched rock delivered with a nod to the classic acts that came before them, but filtered through a youthful, high-energy lens.” It also saw The Black Moods release their own limited-edition beer, “Hollywood & Lime,” with Phoenix’s Walter Station Brewery as well as a limited-release bourbon “Bad News Bourbon” via Phoenix’s SanTan Brewing Company.
