Siggi Schwarz – The Fire Inside
Label: Pride & Joy Music
Release date: February 19th, 2021
Website: www.siggi-schwarz.de
SIGGI SCHWARZ is a German guitar player and producer (MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP) who has ten albums (!) out already and has been playing across the country for many years. Shame on me but I actually never heard of him before. Typical solid seventies and eighties hard rock on these fifteen (!), mostly cool and hook-driven and rocking songs with singer Dave Schaefer from the US on vocals who does a good job here, too. “The Fire Inside“ is great stuff for everybody who is into authentic hard rock with some blues roots like artists in the vein of MOTHER ROAD, BAD COMPANY or VOODOO CIRCLE among others. Powerful but pristine production with some surprises here and there. Almost an hour of timeless music without much fuss and plenty of heart and soul. “The Fire Inside“ hopefully finally turns this guy into a more acknowledged artist. It would be well-deserved, though. And I’m going to check out his back-catalogue, I promise!
