The Day I Went Mad

 Graham Bonnet is considered one of the finest Rock

vocalists of his generation. Beginning his career in the

sixties Graham was one half of the pop duo The Marbles

who scored a worldwide hit single with the Bee Gees

written song Only One Woman.

Following on from the Marbles Graham embarked on a

solo career in the seventies and was one of the first

signings to former Beatle Ringo Starr's record label Ringo

records. Following one self titled album Graham was

approached to replace Ronnie James Dio in Rainbow.

Graham featured on the album Down To Earth and also

the hit singles Since You've Been Gone and All Night Long

before he left Rainbow in late 1980 following Rainbow's

performance at the first Monsters of Rock festival at

Donnington.

Graham then recorded his third solo album Line Up which

featured many guest artists such as Cozy Powell and Micky

Moody. The album also spawned the hit single Night Games

which became a staple of Rock radio stations worldwide.

Following the release of Line Up Graham then joined the

Michael Schenker Group recording just one album entitled

Assault Attack and the hit single Dancer.

Graham then formed his own American based rock band

Alcatrazz with whom he would record three studio albums

and a live album. Graham left Alcatrazz in 1987 when the

band folded and he picked up his solo career once more

which has continued to this day.

The Day I Went Mad was originally recorded and released

in 1999 in Japan and includes performances from a wealth

of special guests including g Slash, Vivian Campbell, Danny

Johnson, Bruce Kulick, Tim Bogert, Tony Franklin and Kevin

Valentine. The album also includes the tracks, The day I

Went Mad, Oh Darling, This Day, Flying Not Falling and Spiked.
