The Fighter
Simon McBride’s fifth solo record, is a multi-layered album, indebted to the blues and rock tradition, but never anachronistic or concerned about trends. It’s an autobiographical journey, stories of a life on the road, of dreams, opportunities, and struggles. McBride comes from Belfast in Northern Ireland, a place that resonates of the best music traditions, and has swiftly become one of the most celebrated guitarists of recent years. In a story that feels like it was plucked from a rock- and-roll dream, Simon’s journey took him from the challenges faced by many musicians of his generation to a whirlwind of success as he stepped into the spotlight as Deep Purple’s official guitarist. But even before joining Deep Purple, he built an impressive career and successfully carved out a name for himself as an incredible artist in his own right.
He proves himself a true master of hook lines, from the vocal lines to the riffs and adorning licks, everything is utterly catchy and (even the guitar lines!) truly singable. Whenever this guitar maestro starts a solo on the six-string, it is rousing and impressive, but never a mere means to an end. It’s the work of a musician who has not only deeply mastered his instrument but also knows how to write songs with substance... and how to sing them! McBride's raspy, versatile voice is that of a storyteller. One who has seen a lot… and did not call the album The Fighter for nothing. This impressive album is now available again as CD jewel case edition, allowing both old fans and new listeners to dive even deeper into the sound of guitar virtuoso McBride.
