SHADES OF GREY (Myke Gray of Jagged Edge / Skin) – 2021


Must Have Limit CDs . Limited Self release. Solo album under the name ‘Shades of Gray’ with Myke performing all parts of a band. It’s been 30+ years since Jagged Edge released their sole album ‘Fuel For Your Soul’ a first and last long player before the band split. It was an album full of great songs and hinted at what might have been. Guitarist Myke Gray of course went on to form UK melodic rockers Skin and is currently focused on his SHADES OF GREY project.

While on the cover art you see a full band, on this album (only on physical CD) titled ”2021” Myke perform all vocals and instruments but drums which co-producer Pete Newdeck (Midnite City, Nitrate) handles.
The album is a great collection of songs with a classic rock / melodic rock meets glam. Myke Gray wanted to create the kind of record that he would listen when he was a kid. It has full on Glam rock tracks like ‘Wam Bam’, classic rock infused like ‘California’, while Def Leppard fans circa 1981 will go crazy with ‘Turn It Up Louder’.
