British Thunder

 As can be seen by the name, The Yardbirds Experience

features the talents of Yardbirds drummer Jim McCarty

alongside other sixties luminaries from the same period

of British Rock Music.  The band for this recording includes

former Jimi Hendrix bassist Noel Redding, Downliners sect

members Don Crane and Keith Grant and former Creation

guitarist Eddie Phillips.  Holding it all together at the front

is former Nashville Teens vocalist Ray Phillips.

The band were a regular attraction on the London gig

circuit during the late eighties and early nineties and were

the catalyst for McCarty to reform the Yardbirds on a more

full time basis.

Originally recorded and released in 1996 this album

features material that reflects the bands illustrious

membership.  Tracks include a Jimi Hendrix Trilogy of

Hey Joe/The Wind Cries Mary/Purple Haze, Shapes of

Things 96, Tobacco Road 96 and Train Kept A Rollin’ 96. 

There is also a cover of the Led Zeppelin classic Whole

Lotta Love and a number of original compositions written

for the album.

Fans of Classic Rock music played at its best will appreciate

the album as will fans of the various bands whose members

make up the line up of this band.
