Lovepower And Peace (CD)
Imagine an album that has a cast list that contains among many others Ken Hensley (Uriah Heep), Pete Way (UFO/Waysted), Sean Harris and Brian Tatler (both Diamond Head), Conny Bloom (The Electric Boys/Hanoi Rocks), 'Fast' Eddie Clarke (Motorhead/Fastway), John Wetton (Asia/King Crimson) Spike (Quireboys), Chris Slade (AC/DC/Asia), Chris Thompson (Manfred Mann) and Pino Palladino (Genesis/The Who). Add to that list hugely respected soul singers Jaki Graham and Ruby Turner and saxophonist Mel Collins (Bad Company/10CC/Dire Straits), honestly I could go on, but you get the idea by now... Then add into the equation that all the artists who have contributed to this album (over 60 in all!) gave their time for free, as did the studios, the design team and in fact everybody involved in the project, so that all the proceeds from the sale of the CD could go directly to three fantastic and deserving charities (Macmillan Cancer Support/Haven House/Compton Hospice). Then you'll begin to get an idea of exactly what Robin George, who has recorded with everyone from Robert Plant and Phil Lynott to Glenn Hughes and John Wetton has achieved with 'LovePower and Peace'. The resulting album is a glorious journey through genres and styles, resulting in seventeen songs that have been painstakingly crafted into perfect examples of everything from soul and blues, to AOR and all out rock, without ever feeling like they shouldn't belong together. In fact when the musicians involved are of the calibre collected together here, the songs begin to transcend genre stereotypes, instead just becoming phenomenal music.
