War Horse: Angel Air Rocks / Various War Horse: Angel Air Rocks / Various CD

Excellent 2011 collection of rockin' tracks pulled from the vast Angel Air Records archives. War Horses! Is a wholly appropriate title for this compilation. A cursory glance at the list of the contributors to this wonderful collection will reveal a host of names that have served in excess of 30 or 40 years in the music business: some a full half century! Angel Air pays homage to all of these great musicians and vocalists including the lovely Maggie Bell, Del Bromham (Stray), the 'guys' in MTH and British Lions, Graham and Steve from Oliver Dawson Saxon, John McCoy, Robin George, Nick Simper (Fandango, Quatermass II and of course... Warhorse) and Bobby Harrison (Nobody's Business and Freedom) to name but a few. All have endured and survived the slings and arrows of an often cruel, relentless and grueling industry. In common with each other, all of these wonderful individuals have found a safe haven over past 14 years at Angel Air Records.
