AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd is releasing his first ever solo album. Though still active with AC/DC, who are soldiering on despite the ill health of guitarist Malcolm Young, Rudd has harnessed his talents as a songwriter for his first full-length HEAD JOB. Phil Rudd is one of rock’s most seasoned musicians, drumming for AC/DC from 1975-1983 and again from 1994-present.
The songs were penned primarily by Rudd with the assistance of Allan Badger and Geoffrey Martin – musicians Phil met on the local scene, which he says ´turned out to be a great musical partnership`. Badge and Martin also perform vocals, guitars and bass on the album, with Rudd sitting in the producer’s seat. The tracks came together over a period of time recorded at several locations including the studio that Rudd built himself not far from his restaurant ´Phil’s Place` in Tauranga, New Zealand.
