CD REVIEW: SCORPIONS REVISITED by Uli Jon Roth

SCORPIONS REVISITED by Uli Jon Roth
(UDR Music)

Since the early 1970 s Uli Jon Roth has been a household name, be it from his work with the Scorpions, his own band Electric Sun, composing symphonies and concertos and sometimes performing with symphony orchestras throughout Europe.  Uli Jon Roth latest release finds him revisiting his days with the Scorpions with 'Scorpions Revisited' a double CD of 19 re-invented Scorpions classics. Nine tracks on disc one featuring, "The Sails Of Charon", "Virgin Killer","Polar Nights" and "Dark Lady". Disc Two is loaded with ten tracks featuring, "All Night Long", "We’ll Burn In The Sky", "Pictured Life" and "Fly To The Rainbow".  The material for this recording was recorded last year in the same hall in Hanover that we used for the Scorpions rehearsals 1973-1978. Uli put together a rock solid group of musicians to back him up. Nathan James (vocals), Jamie Little (drums), Ule W. Ritgen (bass), Niklas Turmann (guitar, vocals), Corvin Bahn (keyboards, vocals) and David Klosinski (guitar). Overall, 'Scorpions Revisited' is an excellent album, superb music/guitar from Uli Jon Roth as usual with the addition of fabulous vocals from British singer, Nathan James! He's one to watch and a match made in heaven. It's great that Uli Jon Roth returning to his rock roots again. Fans of the Scorpions with Uli Jon Roth, will be in awe of the guitar master once again as he delivers his latest masterpiece. - Highly Recommended
