Don Airey – One Of A Kind – CD

Reissue

Don Airey is truly “one of a kind” – it is hard to find a name in the history of rock that the keyboard and organ virtuoso hasn’t worked with at some point in his career. Amongst them Ozzy Osbourne, Rainbow, Whitesnake, Judas Priest, Gary Moore, Brian May, Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath and, of course, Deep Purple. Bands and artists work with him for his unique musical vision, for the special twist he gives to songs. It is with the same passion, the same energy, the same talent that Don Airey approaches his very own songwriting. “One Of A Kind” is Don Airey’s fifth solo record – truly a classic hard rock gem with great melodies, riffs and solos and a unique band unity. Don Airey is supported on the album by top-class colleagues: his friends – of course, all true professionals in their own right, are lead singer Carl Sentance (Nazareth), ex-Black Sabbath bassist Laurence Cottle, guitarist Simon McBride (Deep Purple) and drummer Jon Finnigan (Gang of Four). Together with Sentance and McBride, Airey wrote 11 brilliant songs that are reminiscent of the rock of the seventies and perfectly showcase Airey’s unique talent on the keyboard and organ.
