Great guitar and voice - buy recommendation

After the Vorkritiken I expected a similar album like his first solo albums (".... and abut Time, too" and "Look At Me Now") - perhaps just a little bluesy.

And then it is somehow different.

13 songs and 2 iTunes / Amazon Bonus pieces, in which the load is worthwhile.

Here are just inaccurate information, who's playing for which song.

Except for "Trouble (2014)" and "Bad Blood" all the songs from Marsden are sung. And I like his voice very much.

He plays all the guitars, except for "Shine", there is no one less than Joe Bonamassa plays the lead guitar.

"Trouble" sings David Coverdale and yes, it is the old Whitesnake song from the same album Aigen (!) - But in a totally anderern version. Very modern and interesting.

"Bad Blood" is sung by an unfamiliar blues singer, but very well: Cherry Lee Mewis (No, not Jerry Lee Lewis).

Playing drums Ian Paice, Jimmy Copley and Damon Sawyer. But it is not there, who's playing at what songs.

Keyboards teielen to Don Airey, Simon Webb, Dave Baldwin, Dean Ross and Bob Hadredrell. Again, is not in who plays where.

Bass plays Bernie Marsden himself, and John Gordon and Ian Jennings.

Some songs still there to a great harmonica by Mark Feltham.

Backing Vocals: Bernie Marsden, Rob Cass, Pearse Macintyre.

All songs are written, except "Trouble" (Coverdale / Marsden), "Dragonfly" (Danny Kiran / Fleetwood Mac) and "linin 'Track" (traditional) of Marsden.

Short for each song - by once hearing no real criticism.

1. linin 'Track
Funnily enough, the CD starts (!) With a crack, as if a tone arm is placed on an LP. A fast blues Tradiotionell that I also know from Miller Anderson. Interpreted with a strong harmonica and quite modern.

2. Wedding Day
A commercial rock song that has remained somehow in the 80s hang. Could be of "Alaska".

3. Walk Away
This song is even more 80's and much more pop. Absolut "Alaska".
But that's it for "Alaska" the sound even on songs.

4. Kinda Wish She Would
A blues boogie rockers with Honkytonk piano and Hammond - somehow between "Wine, Women An 'Song" and "Status Quo".

5. Lady Friend
A beautiful, bluesy rock ballad with beautiful harmonica.

6. Trouble
Sung by Coverdale with Blue Grass Guitar Intro. After quite hard and modern with congas and other percussion. Very interesting version! On the Internet I read somewhere that here Paice plays - I do not think. David's voice is just as it sounds like 2014 and not 1978. The version I really like.

7. Who Do We Think We Are
Again something completely different. Could also be on the "Mask" from Glover. Even a little 80's. But not bad. Hit potential.

8. Bad Blood
A blues-rock song à la Gary Moore, with Neil Murray-like bass, but sung by a woman. A little towards Allanah Myles. With a lot of guitar.

9. Shine
The title song with Joe Bonamassa on lead guitar, but sung by Marsden.
Here I actually expected the bluesiest song. But instead, it is the hardest and fastest song. I could me also on "Now What ?!" imagine.
The guitar is not even in the foreground. Much Hammond and even a Hammondssolo (Airey?)! As if here Morse, Gillan and Airey let off steam. Right in the middle sounds Bonamassa Guitar even a little Morse! Yes, even the vocals would suit Gillan. Quite unlike anything else on the disc.
Played very interesting! Somehow Purplig ...

10. Dragonfly
Here again, of course Marsden on guitar - but somehow sounds of these songs as a mix of "Shadows" and "Dixie Dregs" with Pink Floyd's song. A little South Seas feeling. Something completely different.

11. You Better Run
Aha, finally TWIN guitar (both but Marsden). A harder blues rock song that could be on the "Saints & Sinners" thoroughly. Again with a Murray-like bass.
By Twin Guitar (nice stereo) somewhere between classic Whitesnake and Thin Lizzy, but a little more modern.

12. Hoxie Rollin 'Time
A mid-tempo song with a wonderful Blue distorted wah guitar and Hammond.
Oh, yeah. Cool.

13. NW8
Quiet Country Blues with flattering Dobro guitar. Would you rather trust Micky Moody. Strong bass guitar.

The iTunes bonus tracks:

14. Private Blues
A slow blues like "Need Your Love So Bad", only traditional. Why is not on the album? Truly awesome. With harmonica solo. One of the highlights.

15 Shine (instrumental)
The same song as above - but only instrumental. Again with Bonamassa (at least I assume). Interestingly, here instead of the organ solo a guitar solo - but I do not want to specify whether or Marsden Bonamassa. But I rather think Joe.
Also instrumental really strong.

And Bernie?
His voice is absolutely amazing, even if he has not quite as high falsetto voice more. He has a unique way of singing, which I love very much! Crystal clear and totally relaxed.
And his guitar work (lead and rhythm) is very varied and absolutely at its best. But as I have expected nothing less.

As BB King said, "There are only two white people who can play a real blues guitar: Eric Clapton and the type of White Snake"

This is not a guitar album, but certainly an album for guitar fans because Bernie's so great, varied things.
Even if two songs are a little bit to settle in the 80s in Alaska, it is by no means outdated. Also, there is not a pure blues album.
All instruments clearance is left. Organ and Munharmonikasolos are also available. And above all hovers the singing and the Gitarrre of Bernie.
All songs are very good - but it increases from front to rear.

Good production.

Marsden, Coverdale, Paice and Airey, what more could you want.
