Durbin - "Riders On The Wind" (One Take Vocal Performance)
Exactly where they are
While their minds are met
With a land that’s so divided
Hopelessly they walk
Never getting far
While their sights are set on
All that’s lost behind them
Through the last unopened doorway
You will let the outside in
Riders On The Wind
Searching for the sacred night
For the journey to begin
At the dawning of the full moon rise
We’ll go ride, ride, ride
Riders On The Wind
Through the misty mountain road
I see a single file line
There they wait for a seat
At the gathering of the broken
One looks up from the lonely
I can see it in their eyes
Reaching out both hands
At the closing of the mourning
Through the last unopened doorway
We must let the outside in
Riders On The Wind
Searching for the sacred night
For the journey to begin
At the dawning of the full moon rise
Yes we all try to run from the haunting
But our soul’s still burning bright
Can’t hide from the truth
Cause it always sees a dreamer in disguise
Now that life is yours for the taking
Free yourself from the grasp of the lies
And we’ll ride, ride, yes we’ll ride
Riders On The Wind
Riders On The Wind
Searching for the sacred night
For the journey to begin
At the dawning of the full moon rise
We’ll go ride, ride, ride
Riders On The Wind
At the dawning of the full moon rise
Yes we ride – We are Riders On The Wind
Yes we ride, we ride, we ride
And we’re Riders On The Wind
Ο James Durbin πρωτοσύστηθηκε στο μουσικόφιλο κοινό μέσω ενός talent show (American Idol). Έκτοτε η καριέρα του πήρε την ανιούσα.
Κυκλοφόρησε τέσσερα "ολοκληρωμένα" solo albums, ενώ την περασμένη τριετία (2017-2019) ήταν ο τραγουδιστής των Quiet Riot, με τους οποίους κυκλοφόρησε δύο στουντιακούς δίσκους κι ένα live album. Το 2019 αποχώρησε κι αντικαταστάθηκε από τον Jizzy Pearl.
Το νέο δισκογραφικό πόνημα του James Durbin φέρει τον τίτλο "The Beast Awakens" και "βγήκε" προ τετραμήνου...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Hailing from the shores of Santa Cruz, CA, USA, modern heavy metal revivalist James Durbin is on the verge of releasing his boldest, heaviest album to date with the announcement of the debut album from Durbin, “The Beast Awakens” coming February 12, 2021.
James Durbin is finally releasing the album he has always wanted to over the course of his decade long recording career. Combining his love of all things DIO, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, Durbin set out to craft his own signature strain of fantasy inspired power metal for his debut Durbin album, "The Beast Awakens".
“I’ve found a home for my creativity with Frontiers. They really share my vision for the type of metal I wish to create and we’re all excited to see where it will lead,” says Durbin. 'Kings Before You,' the first single released from Durbin’s forthcoming album, features guest vocals from Fozzy vocalist (and AEW Wrestling star) Chris Jericho and renowned guitar wizard Phil Demmel (BPMD, ex-Machine Head).
For each of the solo sections on the remainder of the album tracks, Durbin called upon his own axe wielding brethren to help out. Jon Yadon Jr, Marc Putnam, Dylan Rose, and Nick Gallant all contributed guitar solos for the album. Due to the situation with COVID-19, the album was recorded largely remotely, with only Durbin himself, alongside his producer Ellison, occupying the recording studio.
Durbin says, “the fact that the album sounds the way it does, with the way it was recorded, is a testament to the passion of everyone involved. I am very grateful for all the love and care that was given to my songs and I can’t wait to unleash my metal upon the world.”
All the songs included on “The Beast Awakens” were written solely by Durbin himself. “2020 has been such a strange year for all of us. Coincidentally, our shelter in place order happened just as I had begun writing for the album. It really forced me to write by myself and not rely on others to write the riffs for me.
And then to write the lyrics and melodies too,” tells Durbin. Once the songs were written and demoed by Durbin, he brought in the rhythm section of virtuoso drummer Mike Vanderhule (Y&T) and master bassist Barry Sparks (Ted Nugent, Scorpions, Dokken, B’z).
With Durbin handling the album’s rhythm guitars, his core lineup was complete. James Durbin is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist from Santa Cruz, California. Many associate his name with his appearance on Season 10 of American Idol (2011), where he was unabashedly flying the flag for heavy metal.
In fact, on the finale, he appeared with undisputed metal gods Judas Priest for rousing renditions of "Livin' After Midnight" and "Breaking the Law" and also appeared with legendary guitarist Zakk Wylde. This was followed by Durbin’s debut album, 2011’s “Memories Of A Beautiful Disaster” that blended a mix of hard hitting riffs, vulnerable lyrics, and Durbin’s signature scream.
James has also worked and performed alongside many incredible musicians including Stevie Wonder, Don Was, Sheryl Crow, Tom Jones, Mick Mars of Mötley Crüe, Bob Babbitt of The Funk Brothers, and Steel Panther, just to name a few. Durbin’s signature vocal prowess and powerful stage presence have earned him stamps of approval and praise from rock and metal royalty like Steven Tyler, Sammy Hagar, Rob Halford, and more.
He has four full length albums to his name, in addition to lending his voice to a handful of various albums. James Durbin is an artist on the rise and a performer you don't want to miss. Expect his debut record under the name "Durbin" in early 2021. Fans of heavy metal revivalists like Haunt, Eternal Champion, Sumerlands, Enforcer, and the like, as well as hard rock and classic heavy metal fans in general are in for a treat!»
