OVER THE RAINBOW's Tony Carey, J.R. Blackmore Combine Rock N' Racing With EBC ROXX
September 7, 2010, 14 years ago
Overwhelming power and incredible energy are the basic elements in motor racing and in rock music. ELA, J.R. Blackmore and Tony Carey succeeded to implement this fascinating power mix musically as they have founded their own racing team: EBC ROXX.
Now the musical racing project EBC Roxx is really taking off with 11 brand new songs, according to a press release. Winners, a complex and pedigreed rock’n’race album, will be released on September 17th. Tony Carey (keyboards, vocals; ex-RAINBOW, OVER THE RAINBOW) and J.R. Blackmore (guitar; Over The Rainbow) who worked together as a song writing team on 'Silver Arrows' for the first time changed into higher gear on Winners. ELA of course added even more speed to it. The songs of the album Winners not only talk about Formula 1 ('Silver Arrow' and 'Big Livin''), but generally about living in the fast lane on two or four wheels. Winners is about the bright side 'Your Last Dance' and the dark side of motor racing. The two 'Drivin’ Songs' as well as the opener 'Rolling' depict the intoxication caused by speed. 'Fly' is dedicated to the legendary speed weeks of the Bonneville salt flats (USA). 'Red Dirt Devils' is about the thunderous motocross bikers. As a musical guideline Carey and Blackmore stuck with the classic power hard rock they had previously enjoyed worldwide success with, both with Richie Blackmore’s Rainbow and most recently with Over The Rainbow.
The debut album of EBC Roxx will be released on CD at September, 17th. A badge will be added to the first 500 copies.
