While the press find new ways not to describe what David Bowie's new album is all about yet still appear to actually like it, the rest of us will have to wait until it makes national release not being privileged to the advance copy club.
One thing is for certain though, Earl Slick is back on board for the new Bowie release and which can only mean there's going to be some very fine shards of guitar to be heard. Slick who put most of the guitar diesel into one of Bowie's finest albums 'Station to Station' has been in and about the DB inner circle for 30 years.
Here's the man talking about the time with him and also being in the studio with John Lennon working on his final album 'Double Fantasy'. The video's possibly from around 2010 which is just about the same time the latest Bowie album would have been started.
And below that a live 2000 version of Bowie's 'Stay'. Another of the 'Station To Station' tracks with Earl Slick rendering a viscous reading and Bowie in sublime form. It's a high quality recording so can take some volume. Play it loud would be the only conclusion.
