Black Star Riders - 'Crazy Horses' (The Osmonds cover)

[Verse 1]
There's a message floating in the air
Comes from crazy horses riding everywhere
It's a warning, it's in every tongue
Gotta stop them crazy horses on the run

[Pre-Chorus]
What a show, there they go
Smoking up the sky, yeah
Crazy horses all got riders
And they're you and I

[Chorus]
Crazy horses
Crazy horses

[Verse 2]
Never stop and they never die
They just keep on puffin'
How they multiply
Crazy horses
Will they never halt
If they keep on moving
Then it's all our fault

[Pre-Chorus]
What a show, there they go
Smoking up the sky, yeah
Crazy horses all got riders
And they're you and I

[Bridge]
So take a good look around
See what they've done, what they've done
They've done, they've done
They've done, they've done
They've done, they've done

[Chorus]
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
Crazy horses

Οι Black Star Riders δημιουργήθηκαν προ δεκαετίας από μέλη των Thin Lizzy (και την φωνή των The Almighty, Ricky Warwick), τα οποία δεν ήθελαν να χρησιμοποιήσουν το όνομα της θρυλικής μπάντας για καινούρια μουσική. Στην πορεία βέβαια προστέθηκαν και άλλα μέλη.

Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει τέσσερις "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, με τον πέμπτο είναι προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίλο "Wrong Side of Paradise" και αναμένεται στην αυγή του νέου έτους. Τους ακούμε να διασκευάζουν το τραγούδι των The Osmonds "Crazy Horses", το οποίο αποτέλεσε μέρος του ομότιτλου δίσκου της Αμερικάνικης μπάντας (το πρώτο τραγούδι της δεύτερης πλευράς του βινυλίου) που κυκλοφόρησε στις 14 Οκτβρίου 1972. Την ίδια ημέρα "βγήκε" και αυτόνομα (ως single) με το "That's My Girl" στην δεύτερη πλευρά του βινυλίου.

Πρόκειται για ένα πολυδιασκευασμένο τραγούδι καθώς πέραν των Black Star Riders το έχουν διασκευάσει -μεταξύ άλλων- και οι Tank, Mat Sinner, Mike Portnoy, Pretty Maids, Neal Morse, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Tigertailz, Butcher Babies κλπ...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Masters of anthemic rock ‘n’ roll Black Star Riders are proud to announce that their New Album, entitled “Wrong Side Of Paradise” will be released by Earache records Worldwide on Friday January 20th 2023. The album, featuring 11 tracks, was recorded in the Autumn of 2021 at Studio 606 in Northridge California and Toochtoon Sound in Redmond, Oregon with producer and longtime BSR associate, Jay Ruston.

About the album Ricky says, “I am very proud of this record, Black Star Riders fifth release and the first with our new and exciting relationship with Earache Records. As with all BSR albums, ‘Wrong Side Of Paradise’ is an anthemic statement of intent, driven by ferocious guitars and thundering drums. I can only write about my own personal experiences, my families, my friends and how I see a world that is unraveling and changing faster than we can comprehend. That being said, I’m a firm believer in the power of positivity, something that echoes throughout this album”.»
