Limited Edition Deluxe Double CD in an 8 panel Digipak. Only 500 available.First 250 with signed insert included in packaging.Grand Slams new album Wheel Of Fortune and their 2019 release Hit the Ground Revisedto form a doubleslammy release on June 7th via Silver Lining Music.The fourpiece band formed in 1984 by Phil Lynott and guitarist Laurence Archer before being forced to break up in 1986, have finally formed the appropriate return with a doublesalvo of topdrawer hard rocking songs which resonate with clear and present verve and energy.Hit The Ground Revised signalled the Archer, Mike Dyer vocals, Benjy Reid drums and Rocky Newton bass Grand Slam incarnation back in 2019 and is an unequivocal part of the bands reenergising story, with stylistic salutes and tips to the legendary Lynott melding with the energy and performance of Dyer on vocals in cuts such as the crunchy Hit The Ground and the thrusting Crazy.Wheel of Fortune is the fullyrealised modern Grand Slam sound, striding confidently back into the conscience of classicrock fuelled devotees who didnt know what they were missing. There are no more shoes to fill only boots being worn on the ground, with Dyers style and swagger at the forefront of spirited leaders such as There Goes My Heart, while Archers fiery fretboard forays on the likes of the riffy Spitfire are a vital part of the Grand Slam architecture. With the locksolid rhythm section of Newton and Reid underpinning affairs, Grand Slam not only stand on their own eight feet, theyre also able to directly engage with their talismanic, legendary founding energy with Come Together In Harlem, a moody, strutter of a song from the Phil Lynott days with mostly Phil Lynotts lyrics.But make absolutely no mistake Grand Slam are not a band returning from their past, but a band firing intentions regarding their future, as the epic, multilayered, steamy swing of Pirate Song suggests Let the music do the talking
