about

Oscar LaDell is an American-born, Dunedin-based blues singer, songwriter, guitarist, and harmonica player. Chris Armour is a guitarist and producer from Wellington. Right Kinda Wrong finds the two collaborating for the first time.

The album sweats ‘50s and ‘60s blues, inspired by the masters–Willie Dixon, Jimmy Reed, Little Walter, and Freddie King. It is made up of nine short, punchy original songs penned by both LaDell and Armour. Recording took place over two days at The Stolen Cabasa in Wellington, aided by engineer Miklin Halstead.

As well as Oscar LaDell and Chris Armour on their respective instruments, Right Kinda Wrong features Steve Moodie on bass and Richard Te One on drums, while Michael Crawford and Dayle Jellyman share keyboard duties. Armour also produced and mixed the album, capturing the vintage sound that instantly brings to mind classic Chess and Excello records.

LaDell, at only 22, sings and plays with an authority beyond his years, absorbing the sound and tradition from his father, Leo LaDell; the Virginia-born musician who has shared the stage with both Bo Diddley and Pinetop Perkins. Right Kinda Wrong is a testament to the fact that, in New Zealand, the blues is in the right kinda hands.
