More stuff from the busiest man in rock n roll
Black Star Riders frontman Ricky Warwick is set to release his two solo albums, ‘When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy Mitchell Sang The Blues)’ and ‘Hearts On Trees’, as a double CD on 26th February 2016 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment. As Ricky decided to record two separate albums, we decided to quiz him on two tracks off each album – watch as he discusses the title track and ‘Celebrating Sinking’ off his electric offering, ‘When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy Mitchell Sang The Blues)’
The artwork for the double albums reflect the tone of each – ‘When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy Mitchell Sang The Blues)’ showcases the electric rock and roll side of Ricky, whilst ‘Hearts On Trees’ veers more towards tender stripped-back songwriting, influenced by both Americana and, more importantly, Ricky’s Northern Irish roots.
Ricky explains: “Hearts On Trees and When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy Mitchell Sang The Blues) were written by myself and my good friend Sam Robinson, both albums depict our experiences of growing up and coming from the Greater East Belfast area, not only experiences that have happened to us but historical references and stories that have been told to us by friends and family…in saying that both albums translate those experiences on to a global scale that hopefully anyone geographically can relate to.”
