Here's a newly released record that sounds like it's 50 years old.
Having mentioned Bad Company during the Free Star Track in mid January, today's music sounds very much like them. This is in part down to Simon Kirke, the former drummer of both these bands. In the early 80s he was in a group with singer Steve Overland called Wildlife. In 2019 the Overland-Kirke alliance was rekindled, accompanied by guitarist/keyboard player Steve Morris and bassist Chris Childs they formed Lonerider.
For their latest LP 'Down in the Dust' they added Steve Mann on Hammond organ and the link up between Morris and Mann works to further the Bad Company style vibes.
What really sets this off is the fantastic video to 'Getting Closer' - full screen to make the most of this >
FYI: Simon Kirke - born in Lambeth, now lives in New York City and Montauk NY with his wife.
