Black Star Riders - All Hell Breaks Loose
The debut from the band formerly known as Thin Lizzy meets my expectations and then some. Everyone bitched when they called themselves Thin Lizzy. But all the reviews I've read talk about their Thin Lizzy sound. Not that that's a bad thing. In fact, I bet Phil Lynott is looking down from heaven smiling on these guys. He's proud of their effort I'm sure. Ricky Warwick handles the vocals and does a damn fine job. The great twin leads are handled by long time Lizzy man Scott Gorham and Damon Johnson. Mr Marco Mendoza & Jimmy Degrasso make up the rythmn section. All great players and it shows on this release. Hoodoo Voodoo has my vote for song of the year. I don't hear a clunker on this album. If your a fan of Thin Lizzy or dang good hark rock...this album is highly recommened.
PS,
If you go into this album with an open mind.. you'll be pleasantly surprised as to how good it is.
