Solo album from Simon
Simon McBride’s new album is due to be released on March 14 via Edel/earMUSIC. It is called Recordings 2020-2025, but contrary to what it may seem, does not include any of the tracks already released during these years (such as on his 2020 Trouble EP, or 2022 The Fighter album).
Track listing:
- Uniform Of Youth
- Kids Wanna Rock
- Ordinary World
- Grandma’s Hands
- I Gotta Move
- Lovesong
- Dead In The Water
- Gimme Something Good
- Don’t Dare
- Heartbraker
- The Stealer
- Hell Waters Rising
- Dead Man Walking
- Fat Pockets
- So Much Love To Give
Covers on the album include: Ordinary World — Duran Duran, Uniform Of Youth — Mr. Mister, Kids Wanna Rock — Bryan Adams, and The Stealer — Free. The rest appear to be original material.
Ordinary World has been posted to accompany the announcement:
Thanks to Blabbermouth for the info, and to snarkmeister Uwe for the correction.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Great cover of a wonderful song.

Tune in again next next week kiddies when The Highway Star (a site only randomly devoted to the songwriting craft of Free and Bad Company) reveals how Ritchie Blackmore wrote Alright Now and Tommy Bolin Can’t Get Enough!!!
PS: My mom always said: “Uwe, don’t gloat, it’s not nice!” I’ve followed her advice ever since.
February 8th, 2025 at 03:13Simon is an amazing guitarist and I really look forward to get this in my collection.
February 8th, 2025 at 08:25Duran Duran were/are underrated. The wrote some great melodic tunes.

Through all the New Romantic/80s disco glam in their music, there was always a bit of Brit grit lurking underneath, that is what set them apart from someone like, say, Spandau Ballet.

DP leaked?
February 8th, 2025 at 15:28It sounds like a cross between Purple and Rainbow, someone (AI?) certainly tried very hard, but the chorus really isn‘t how Gillan would write and sing these days. But it is well done.
Interesting though.

February 8th, 2025 at 19:30Oh well !
February 8th, 2025 at 23:42Glenn Hughes had one called “So Much Love to Give”, on his “Blues” album. Is this one a cover of that, or an original with the same name?
February 9th, 2025 at 01:11Well, Karin fell for it! Look in the YT comments. 😘
Alas!, but don’t we all know, Love Is Blind …

Frater, I don’t get it, what does the Glenn Hughes number have to do with this AI pastiche (which is called “Fire In Your Eyes” btw)?

If it is Purple for real, oohhhh man Ian is very well singing 🥰
February 9th, 2025 at 06:38@7
Oh man 😞
Or in Danish: ØV!
February 9th, 2025 at 08:38@10: Uwe, the last song on the McBride album mentioned in the article above.
February 9th, 2025 at 09:35@10
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love is certainly blind!
So – you stalk me….?
February 9th, 2025 at 09:41Thanks, Svante, I get it now, no Frater, it’s a different song, whether penned by Simon or someone else, I dunno, sounds a bit Lynyrd Skynyrd’ish to me:

And Simon overplays like hell on this live rendition, but to be fair it dates back almost 20 years. Young men …
PS: Karin, don’t feel bad, we meanwhile live in an age where you can neither trust your eyes nor your ears! At the rate AI is developing, we will very soon need AI to analyze whether something is AI or not.

And all the time it had grown
From techno seeds we first planted
Evolved a mind of its own”

Rob Halford is my prophet! 😁
February 9th, 2025 at 15:31“So – you stalk me….?”
Let’s just say: I keep a watchful eye over you, Karin …
“Up here in space
I’m looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do
You think you’ve private lives, think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape, I’m watching all the time”

“Let’s just say: I keep a watchful eye over you, Karin …”
Oh thank you 🤗
So when I’m away on vacation, you also watch my house and doglet? That would be neat!
