‘Livin’ In Suspicion’ is the new single by the Graham Bonnet Band and is taken from the group’s just released ‘Meanwhile, Back In The Garage’ album, which was issued on 13th July via Frontiers.
The song was written by Russ Ballard, who Bonnet has regarded as his talisman ever since he sang on the best known version of Ballard’s ‘Since You Been Gone’ while a member of Rainbow in the late 1970’s. Bonnet states: “Russ has been a friend for many years and written songs for mein the past, as well as big hits for bands like Kiss, America and Santana. This time I really feel that almost by chance we have something that can be seen as another ‘Since You Been Gone’ type of song, in that it is very memorable and people can instantly relate to it.”
‘Meanwhile….’ is the second album by the Graham Bonnet Band and follows ‘The Book’ (2016). The record has been well received, with Bonnet commenting that “it has been incredible.
People are saying this is the best record I have made, either for many years, or even ever.
The feedback just keeps getting better and better. I think this record will have a long life!”
The new record has earned critical plaudits for not only for its songs and their lyrical subject matter (not to mention the singer), but also its production and skilled musicianship, with many praising the Alcatrazz-ian mixture of Hard Rock and Progressive stylings on display.
