The three best guitarists of all time are surely Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore and Pat McManus. The first two gentlemen have unfortunately already died, but the third is fortunate enough to be in good health! And he is busy touring Europe and has a new CD in his bag: “LiveAlong The Highways” and this is – as the title suggests – a live album!

Outlaws ?– Playin’ To Win [Remastered Arista/Legacy] 2017
The Outlaws have always been one of my favorites no matter the lineup and I’ve always considered Ghost Riders one of their finest works. I was not however a huge fan of Playin’ To Win at the time of it’s release in 1978 but listening to it now and coming to understand the dynamics taking place in the group at the time I’ve gained a new appreciation for the material on the record though I still believe the record was overproduced.

TRUSTIES – UNTOUCHABLE 2016
It’s been sometime since we’ve heard from Finnish progressive rock band Trusties, seven years actually. Apparently they’ve been busy working on Untouchable, a concept album, a psychological thriller, about Arthur the Martyr, a seemingly normal kid planning a mass murder. The story take place not so much in normal reality but the fantasy world of the protagonist. See the story teaser at the end of the review and following the music video for more details.

ANDY TIMMONS BAND – THEME FROM A PERFECT WORLD 2016
Let’s start with a statement: if you are an AC/DC kind of rock fan, and worship bands like Airbourne (which I love by the way) and at the same time do not tolerate anything else, you will most likely not get this album at all. The same, if you are a diehard Danger Danger fan (anyone out there?), what you might expect out of Andy would be an instrumental follow-up to his last collaborations with Danger Danger — Cockroach or Screw It. This is a completely different kind of music.

As Lions – Selfish Age 2017
The corpse of Rise To Remain was still warm when its surviving members announced their new venture, As Lions. Vocalist Austin Dickinson (son of Iron Maiden-Fronter Bruce Dickinson) has long been the focus of derision from trolls because his dad happens to be a certain frontman in Iron Maiden, but it only makes his band’s debut an even bolder step because, at its heart, SELFISH AGE is an unabashed pop-rock record, albeit one towards the heavier end of the spectrum. SELFISH AGE is a collective chorus of layered vocals.
