CD released: Nov 26, 2021
Special Limited Edition Digipak CD with 16 Page Booklet featuring exclusive photos from BernieÆs personal archive. Bernie Marsden was a founding member of Whitesnake, and wrote the global smash, ôHere I Go Againö. Since leaving Whitesnake almost 40 years ago, Bernie has forged an impressive career. He has written and recorded with numerous music legends, composed music for film & TV, become a bestselling author, amassed a priceless collection of guitars and of course continued to release outstanding albums as a solo artist. Most recently, the critically acclaimed #1 Blues album, KINGS. ôCHESSö is the second album of Bernie MarsdenÆs ôInspirations Seriesö, representing his interpretation of tracks and artists which were instrumental in shaping his musical taste and guitar style. Featuring 10 songs that were originally issued by the legendary Chicago label, CHESS, this is another labour of love for Bernie. Releases by giants such as Howling Wolf, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley and Elmore James, have all been given a new lease of life in these remarkably fresh recordings. Once again, two Bernie Marsden penned instrumentals inspired by Chess artists appear as bonus tracks on the album. |
