INSPIRATIONS (LP)

SAXON PROUDLY DISPLAY THEIR oINSPIRATIONSo WITH NEW CLASSIC COVERS RELEASE British Heavy Metal legends Saxon will deliver a full-roar-fun-down set of covers on March 19th 2021 (Silver Lining Music), with their latest album Inspirations, which drops a brand new 11 track release featuring some of the superb classic rock songs that influenced Biff Byford & the band. From the crunching take on The Rolling StonesAE aePaint It BlackAE and the super-charged melodic romp of The BeatlesAE aePaperback WriterAE to their freeway mad take on Jimi HendrixAEs aeStone FreeAE, Saxon show their love and appreciation with a series of faithful, raw and ready tributes. Recorded at Brockfield Hall near York, UK, with a firm eye on the old school way using Marshall cabs, Marshall amps and real drums, Saxon approach the likes of Mot?rheadAEs aeBomberAE (with added whistle!), AC/DCAEs aeProblem ChildAE, Black SabbathAEs aeEvil WomanAE and a raucous Deep PurpleAEs aeSpeed KingAE with refreshingly warm, unfiltered, ovintageo sounding renditions. Byford takes on some new vocal challenges, which he duly smashes on the likes of Thin LizzyAEs aeThe RockerAE. Saxon do a supreme job of entertaining both themselves and their audience throughout Inspirations. For even more proof of the validity behind that statement, wrap your ears around their sparkling take on TotoAEs aeHold The LineAE and consider SaxonAEs Inspirations a mission accomplished.
