Old School Album Of The Week For Mar.8th - 12th


I pulled out an album last week that I haven't listened to in ages. Jimmy Pages only solo album he has ever put out released in 1988 called Outrider. It's surprising that this is the only solo album he has out considering how long he has been playing and how many artists he has played with, but this is it.
It's not a bad album but not overly great either, he doesn't do any of the singing on this album. he actually has two different singers on it, side one has John Miles on vocals while side two has a fellow named Chris Farlow. Both singers do a good job on the tracks they sing on. While Robert Plant appears once on a song called The Only One. John Bonham's son Jason plays drums on all tracks but two.
Jimmy plays some good guitar on the album but nothing that really stands out, it's mostly a blues album which should come as no surprise.
Stand out tracks to me are Wasting My Time,Hummingbird and Prison Blues.
