Saxon have announced full details of their ‘Inspirations' covers album featuring their take on classic tracks by Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Motorhead, The Rolling Stones and many more.
As a taster for the album, Saxon have premiered their cover of The Rolling Stones’ 1966 classic ‘Paint It Black’ and its accompanying behind-the-scenes video filmed during the recording sessions at Brockfield Hall earlier this year.
Featuring 11 songs that influenced Saxon and helped mould them into the band they are today, ‘Inspirations’ was recorded at Brockfield Hall near York and it’s released on Friday 19th March 2021 via Silver Lining Music.
Saxon singer Biff Byford says of ‘Paint It Black’: “I’ve loved this band since I first saw them and heard them. I liked the Beatles, but the Stones appealed to my rebel side; their iconic look… so many great songs, such a great attitude in the music!”

Michael Ball and Alfie Boe's Christmas album beats BTS to UK number one
Michael
Ball and Alfie Boe's Christmas album has denied South Korean boy band BTS the
UK number one spot.
Ball and
Boe have gone to the top of the chart with Together At Christmas.
It has
sold more than 31,000 copies on CD, which counts for much more than streaming
in the chart calculations.
BTS have
had two UK number one albums in the past two years, but their latest release,
Be, had to settle for entering this week's chart at number two.
Together
At Christmas is Ball and Boe's fourth album of duets following Together,
Together Again and Back Together.
Ball said
reaching number one was "the greatest early Christmas present we could've
wished for".
Power Up by AC/DC is in third place.
