At last! The incredible brand new adventure by
NYC punkrock veteran SONNY VINCENT and friends!! An we do mean FRIENDS,
because this time Sonny, a tireless punk pioneer from the CBGBs
glory days, has called up some of his best mates, who also happen
to be first-class Punk/Rock’n’Roll heroes, such as CAPTAIN
SENSIBLE from The Damned, SCOTT ASHETON from The Stooges, WAYNE
KRAMER from The MC5, WALTER LURE from Johnny Thunders´ Heartbreakers...
(to name but a few). Yeah! The kind of stars Rock’n’Roll
History is written by!
"THE
GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY" started as a project for
an album that was going to be recorded only by Sonny, Captain Sensible
and Scott Asheton in Detroit (to catch the "Detroit Sound"
feeling), but then just went outta control and carried on in New
York, Berlin, Los Angeles.... as also grew the UNBELIEVABLE LIST
OF GUEST STARS that Sonny called, or who kept spontanously joining
in as the news spread, enthusiasticly stepping in to participate
in such a wild rocking and cool project. Basically Sonny asked old
friends and all the people he always wanted to play with, and all
of them went for it. Legends? HELLYEAH!!! Just take a look at the
list below and find out what we´re talking about.
The
result is this ABSOLUTE ROCK’N’ROLL TIME BOMB,
full of Detroit vibe, NYC coolness, and many other ingredients added
by the amazing musicians that shaped and re-shaped the record. You
can hear a guitar played as only Richard Lloyd (100% TELEVISION)
can, or Scott Asheton doing –in Sonny’s words- "that
unmistakable Detroit thang that ONLY he and a few others can do".
SCOTT MORGAN, BRIAN JAMES, IVAN JULIAN, JAVIER ESCOVEDO; GREG GINN...
WOW!!
"THE
GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY" is not only a helluva record because
of the INTENSE HIGH VOLTAGE PUNKROCK in its grooves, but a unique
and probably impossible to repeat project with more than 20 musicians
who are considered some of the most influential artists of the last
thirty years. Available on vinyl and CD, complete with extensive
notes by Sonny himself telling the whole making of in his own words,
and a brilliant cover artwork that pays tribute to the Beatles´
Sgt. Peppers cover with pictures of all the people who recorded
the album.
