The Immediate Family – Skin In The Game (CD)

Revered Supergroup, THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY, Delivers A Stellar Set Of Timeless Rock ‘N’ Roll On Their New Studio Album SKIN IN THE GAME.

The Immediate Family’s much-anticipated new studio album, Skin In The Game, will be released on February 16, 2024, via Quarto Valley Records. The legendary musicians’ second full-length studio album is a skillful combination of power and precision, fun and introspection, featuring soaring harmonies and a burst of R&B with the pure essence of rock and roll. Produced by the band themselves, Skin In The Game’s fourteen tracks showcase the remarkably versatile musical skills possessed by all five members of The Immediate Family: singer/songwriter/guitarists Danny Kortchmar, Waddy Wachtel, and Steve Postell and one of the most renowned rhythm sections in rock history, Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar.

The tight-knit quintet initially rose to prominence working with some of rock’s biggest names, such as Keith Richards, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Carole King, Jackson Browne, Stevie Nicks, Don Henley, Billy Joel, David Crosby and Joni Mitchell, to name a few – but now they have reinforced their own identity as The Immediate Family.

The band’s unique, decades-long musical journey is the subject of the full-length documentary, Immediate Family, by acclaimed filmmaker Denny Tedesco (director of The Wrecking Crew). The film tracks the rise and collaborations of this group of legendary studio musicians Danny Kortchmar, Waddy Wachtel, Russ Kunkel, and Leland Sklar, through the 1970s and onward, spotlighting their prestigious partnerships and their indelible mark that helped define the sound of a generation. Immediate Family is a backstage tour of rock history, featuring intimate interviews with the band members, as well as memorable stories from some of music’s most iconic performers including Carole King, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Neil Young, Keith Richards, Don Henley, Stevie Nicks, David Crosby, Jackson Browne, Lyle Lovett and Phil Collins.
