The album includes 11 new songs that were recorded in Francis Rossi (vocalist and guitarist) studio in the last months of 2018 and until the beginning of this year.
Vocalist Francis Rossi explained that with Rick Parfitt’s untimely death in December 2016, the album had to be great, otherwise he would not have seen the light of day.
He said:
“Losing Rick was hard to bear, but through Richie Malone, who was inspired to pick up a guitar, we can not just continue, but we can also accelerate the pace,” said Rossi.
