Hear Saxon cover for Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black”:
Vocalist Biff Byford talked about the song and the album, saying:
“Loved this band since I first saw them and heard them. I liked The Beatles, The Stones, appealed to my rebel side; their iconic look… so many great songs, such a great attitude in the music!” “Inspirations” was recorded at Brockfield Hall, near York in the U.K., which was built in 1804 and holds the largest collection of paintings by Yorkshire’s impressionist artists — the Staithes Group.
“The warmth and feel of ‘Inspirations’ had so much to do with being together in this magnificent place and doing it ‘old-school’ style. This is how many bands back in the day —including some of the ones covered here — made such great albums, so it just felt really good to be able to do this somewhere like Brockfield Hall,” Byford said.
The band is formed by: Biff Byford (Vocals), Paul Quinn (Guitar) Nibbs Carter (Bass) Doug Scarratt (Guitar), Nigel Glockler (Drums).
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
