Description

SAXON PROUDLY DISPLAY THEIR INSPIRATIONS 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 Stones Paint It Black and the super-charged melodic romp of The Beatles Paperback Writer to their freeway mad take on Jimi Hendrix s Stone Free , 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 Motorhead s Bomber (with added whistle!), AC DC s Problem Child , Black Sabbath s Evil Woman and a raucous Deep Purple s Speed King with refreshingly warm, unfiltered, vintage sounding renditions. Byford takes on some new vocal challenges, which he duly smashes on the likes of Thin Lizzy s The Rocker . 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 Toto s Hold The Line and consider Saxon s Inspirations a mission accomplished.
