Search - Lone Star :: BBC Radio 1 in Concert

Sadly underrated band who scream originality

09/20/1999

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Although this live recording doesn't do as much justice as it could (ever heard that before?), Lone Star were a superb band who achieved power, imagry and emotion on both their albums, 'Lone Sar' and 'Firing on all six' and most of this is in evidence on 'In Concert'. They did unfortunately occur at a time where fashion ignored them but as we become more retrospective by the generation, perhaps they will now be recognised as a band that could have developed to champion the heavy rock genre as others fell by the wayside. To hear is to believe and this reviewer strongly recommends that you do both, not least to the studio albums - they certainly rest in my top ten."
