War Horse:

‘Veteran: an experienced person who has been through many battles, struggles or fights.

‘War Horses!’ is a wholly appropriate title for this compilation. A cursory glance at the list of the contributors to this wonderful collection will reveal a host of names that have served in excess of thirty or forty years in the music business – some a full half century!

Angel Air pay’s homage to all of these great musicians and vocalists and in particular the lovely Maggie Bell, Del Bromham (Stray), the ‘guys’ in MTH and British Lions, Graham and Steve from Oliver Dawson Saxon, John McCoy, Robin George, Nick Simper (Fandango, Quatermass II and of course…Warhorse) and Bobby Harrison (Nobody’s Business and Freedom) to name but a few. All have endured and survived the slings and arrows of an often cruel, relentless and gruelling industry.

In common with each other, all of these wonderful individuals have found a safe haven over past 14 years at Angel Air Records. Enjoy!

Reviews

Eclectic it may well be but 'War Horses' is all the better for it and as a starting place this is a perfect introduction to an excellent label. Fireworks magazine (May 2011)
This compilation features lots of good stuff that Angel Air are now putting out or re-issuing; and although retro is a good sampler of some top musicians. 3/5 Mark Woodhead, www.getreadytorock.com (April 2011)
This is the second excellent compilation from Angel Air Records I've reviewed...this compilation takes in everything from Southern Fried Boogie, to proggy classic rock, poppy AOR and straight Heavy Metal...with a gloriously funky version of Free's 'Wishing Well' by the phenomenal vocal talents of Maggie Bell...things just keep getting better. www.rocktopia.co.uk (June 2011)
