Huge thanks to Guitarist Magazine for giving my new album 8/10!!! You can order in the shop!! START ME UP Troy Redfern The Fire CosmicRed7 Records 8/10 Fuzzed-up slide, anyone?Armed with a collection of guitars that includes some 1920sNationals and with a rhythm assemblage featuring drummerDarby Todd (The Darkness, Robben Ford, Paul Gilbert),bassist Dave Marks, plus the legendary Ron ‘Bumblefoot’Thal, British slide guitarist Troy headed off to Rockfield Studios in NorthWales to lay down what he describes as being some “bombastic, sassyblues-rock boogie”. It’s all about raw, sweaty, low-down blues – completewith a backbeat that would stun an ox – decorated with Troy’s overdrivenslide permanently on 11. Infectious hooks come thick and fast with Trey’svocals ripping it up on the album’s 10 tracks, the songwriting mature as itis powerful. He is on tour with Robert Jon & The Wreck later on this year –sounds like a great evening out to us! Standout track: Love & WarFor fans of: Aerosmith, ZZ Top
