More Inspirations

Product Information

Following the release of Inspirations in 2021, More Inspirations is the second ‘deep dish’ serving of the influences which have fed the mighty Saxon’s immensely successful 40+ year career. The first single is an astonishing take on The Sensational Alex Harvey Band’s “ The Faith Healer”. Your opinion either way will be re-enforced, as soon as the opening notes of “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place” ring out, you know what you’re getting. The roar of the music still sounds distinctly like Saxon, its almost like The Animals never made it.

Walzer, Jonathan. "Gut gemacht, aber letztlich nicht nötig"[Nice work, but in the end not necessary] (in German) . Retrieved 8 May 2023. Of course, there’s a reason that this sounds like Saxon. And its Biff Byford. Biff’s vocals are unmistakable, and he delivers a powerful performance. When he asks, “Can I put my hands on you?” in “…Healer” it sounds a bit filthy, but in the best possible way, like a sort of David Coverdale upper class to do, The lead guitar work from Saxon guitarist Paul Quinn is top-notch (and as this is his farewell from the group, he shows what we’ll miss), and when Biff hits the high notes, it’s truly impressive.

With all these songs, the music is performed largely like the original, with Biff making no attempt to emulate the vocalists he’s covering. Instead, he just sings like himself, which explains why many of these covers are very creditable attempts, and while More Inspirations could well be just for completists, Saxon deserve credit for introducing the music of seemingly forgotten seventies outfits like the Sensational Alex Harvey Band to a younger audience, who may not even be aware of them. What could have been an album garnering a response of ‘Why did they even bother?’ has turned out well for a band who’ve given us a successful guided tour of their birthplace.

More Inspirations was the band's first studio album since Call to Arms (2011) to not enter the UK Albums Chart top 100. As with every Saxon studio album in the last 16 years, More Inspirations entered the charts in all of the three German-speaking countries. Saxon are an English heavy metal band formed in Barnsley in 1975. As leaders of the new wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM), they had eight UK Top 40 albums during the 1980s including four UK Top 10 albums and two Top 5 albums. They had numerous hit singles on the UK Singles Chart and experienced success all over Europe and Japan, as well as in the United States.
