Members of the category-defying band NRBQ knew from the outset that their prospects of mainstream success were slim to none. The quartet spent the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s recording and touring chiefly for the reward of accolades from fellow musicians including Paul McCartney, Keith Richards, Elvis Costello and Bonnie Raitt, as well as devoted fans scattered across the planet. The group’s anything-goes-and-usually-does approach was what first caught the ear of […]
