Info for Blue No Matter Who

Lounge singer Richard Cheese returns with his 28th studio album - this time a collection of serious, melancholy saloon song ballads in the style of a classic Frank Sinatra Capitol Records concept album. These 12 all-new 2024 recordings feature wistful piano accompaniment, rich orchestrations, and Cheese's sincere, heartfelt voice performing covers of songs like Radiohead's "Lucky," The Offspring's "Self Esteem," R.E.M.'s "South Central Rain," Harry Styles' "As It Was," and Lana Del Rey's "The Greatest."

I've taken eleven of my all-time favorite rock songs, by bands like Radiohead, Stone Temple Pilots, The Offspring, R.E.M., The Cure, and Lana Del Rey, and performed them as serious, melancholy, saloon song ballads. It's just soft piano, lush strings, and my voice, in the tradition of a 1950's Frank Sinatra Capitol Records concept album.

I've wanted to record this album for twenty years, and now it's finally here. I sincerely hope you enjoy it. Do me a favor, PLEASE read the liner notes below before you listen -- and it wouldn't hurt to drink a cocktail or two, too. (Richard Cheese)

Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine
are a cover band and comedy act based in Los Angeles, California. The band's name is a play on that of rock band Rage Against the Machine, and Cheese's pseudonym is a reference to smegma. The band specializes in playing jazz and lounge covers of popular rock and rap tunes from the last thirty years, particularly those with offensive lyrical content...

Since 2000, the band has played concerts around the U.S.A. and Europe, and has made numerous television appearances, including performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Fox News Channel, CNN, and as the house band on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly and MTV's Say What? Karaoke series.

This album contains no booklet.
