The full blooded вЂSpeed KingвЂ™, and вЂThe RockerвЂ™, along with their take on AC/DCвЂ™s raw вЂProblem ChildвЂ™ show Biff and the band really tearing into things like their very lives depended on it and itвЂ™s impossible not to appreciate the craft of both the originals and the covers here. There follows a slew of tracks that capture the very essence of what has become вЂHeavy MetalвЂ™, from genre defining moments of history from Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy and Deep Purple to the earliest morphing of psychodelia into much heavier fare as illustrated by the incredible inventiveness of Hendrix. Equally impressive, their take on The Beatles вЂPaperback WriterвЂ™ is a revelation, still retaining the urgency of the original but adding an extra weight, the juxtaposition of the Fab FourвЂ™s pop perfection with ferocious and unrelenting guitars working perfectly. Led ZeppelinвЂ™s вЂImmigrant SongвЂ™ is much safer territory, the band rising to the challenge of this epic, the drama and danger fully intact. ItвЂ™s a bold move to take on some of the greatest tracks of all time but Saxon have never shied away from a challenge and the album is proof positive of that.Д¬onsidering the strength of the rest of the album, The Stones вЂPaint It BlackвЂ™ was a bit of a leftfield choice to kick off the album as, whilst good, it doesnвЂ™t really hit the right spot, some of the sparkle you could have hoped for missing. That though is part of the great charm of the project in this age of вЂwhat would it sound like if a Black Sabbath song was sung byвЂ¦вЂ™ videos on YouTube as here you actually get to hear that for real. The band obviously had a huge amount of fun choosing and recording these eleven slices of history, dipping into some of the more obviously influential bands whilst mixing in a scattering of slightly unexpected artists. A genuine work of passion, paying tribute to the artists that inspired them both as a band and as individuals, this is that most divisive of things, a covers album, done in such a way that brings their own feel to some of the classics of the past. Whilst not known for their love songs, вЂInspirationsвЂ™ is, in its own way, just that. Share the post 'Album review: SAXON вЂ“ Inspirations'ДЇour decades into a career that has seen them conquer the globe, there seems to be no stopping the mighty Saxon, their own brand of Heavy Metal Thunder still ringing out loud and proud.
