Motörhead  Another Perfect Day Deluxe 40th Anniversary Edition [BMG] https://open.spotify.com/album/7lk5pKAAkajxNUzPylklZq MotörLizzy? Thin Head? When ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian “Robbo” Robertson joined Motörhead in 1983, replacing “Fast” Eddie Clarke, no one knew what to expect. Another Perfect Day, the resulting album from this one-off collaboration, presented what Lemmy Kilmister called a more “musical” approach to the classic line-up’s full-tilt ferocity. Harnessed into more traditional guitar rock tropes enhanced by carefully crafted production, songs like “Back At The Funny Farm,” “Dancing On Your Grave,” and the single, “One Track Mind,” feature the band’s by-then patented hell-bound grooves draped in Robbo’s effects-laden, multi-layered guitar overdubs. And yet, Another Perfect Day proved that no matter how much you mess with the ingredients, Lemmy’s voice and bass playing, distorted and gravelly as they both are, would remain Motörhead’s calling cards. –Freddy Villano “One Track Mind” Official Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIe_b7P-qKg Thin Lizzy Vagabonds of The Western World 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition [Decca] https://open.spotify.com/album/6PR3uEvxJbmBw6zLGIjVtU Vagabonds Of The Western World, Thin Lizzy’s third studio album, was initially released on the 21st of September 1973. After a two-year struggle for recognition, Thin Lizzy had finally scored a breakthrough hit after Phil Lynott started busking the old Irish folk song, “Whiskey in The Jar.” The single was released in November 1972 and rose to number 6 on the UK singles chart. Though the song was a hit and paved the way for Vagabonds of The Western World, their last with original guitarist Eric Bell, it was left off the full-length release. It would, however, appear on later reissues of Vagabonds as it does now on this 50th anniversary edition. But the real gems of Vagabonds are the original songs, like “The Rocker” and “A Song for While I’m Away,” which represent the sound of nascent Thin Lizzy finally finding their feet and starting on their journey to become one of the greatest rock bands of the ’70s, and for Lynott to be recognized as one of the best, if not most underrated, songwriters of his generation. –Freddy Villano “Whiskey in The Jar” (with Lynott on guitar): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UviREczpKwE Mark Egan Cross Currents [Wavetone] https://open.spotify.com/album/6N2tmPn9AVZNBIvoRl2i91 Packed with the pungent flavors of the Big Easy and the bayou, Mark Egan’s latest is a standout in his storied solo career, thanks to his newly assembled trio featuring Gotham session ace and Saturday Night Live drummer Shawn Pelton and under-heralded Louisiana-born guitarist S
