Anyone tried the new Lillian Axe? I love this band. Going to see them next week. Can't remember if I saw them back in the day or not so might be the last chance i get. They don't come to the UK often.
Is it worth trying? Ron Taylor was a huge part of their sound. Psychoschizophrenia is a classic IMO (and Poetic Justice was damn good to............even just for the album cover ) but I really haven't taken much notice since. Everything I tried out (or bought in the case of Fields of Yesterday) just seemed a shadow of their past.
Big fan here too and reckon Psycho is their peak album and it already hinted at the direction that Steve would take moving forward. But there's plenty more to like both before then and after, I've enjoyed all their eras. Water's Rising was my personal favourite of the post Ron Taylor albums, the title track alone worth the price and the variation on that one was exceptional, it all works. And The Days Before Tomorrow was probably the closest they came to releasing something as strong as their heyday, fantastic album.
So far as the new one goes I'm not 100% sold on From Womb To Tomb. It's a grand attempt at a conceptual start to finish deal but after almost a 10yr wait and with a new throat on mic it's a little overly ambitious maybe? That said there's a good half dozen cuts I am loving too so digging in regardless 🤘
I will add this has been one hell of a thread to (try) and catch up with too LOL (I cheated and jumped in at a few pages back)...
