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!”
