Bill Ward - Trying To Get Out Alive

This guitar oriented blues-rock album has been long overdue. Bringing together songs from his live show, newer and classic material; this is a far reaching work. It's extraordinarily eclectic; featuring original songs mixed with his own blend of classic rock, blues, epic ballads, and jazz/rock instrumentals. Bill says "For me, it's all about mixing it up: variety." If you have heard enough of trendy music, this is good place to discover where art and rock and roll meet. Bill can seemingly do it all, and does. He manages to bring a classical touch to even edgy rock. Each song is carefully crafted and is treated as a composition. There are no throw-away songs on this CD.
