Gillan 's Inn, the new solo album by Ian Gillan is an audio CD, and consequently for the fans not only an ear but also a feast for the eyes. On the 14 songs of the Brit proves once again that he is one of the best rock singers of all time and better from year to year. And this is not only in the numerous, prominent and accomplished guest musicians such as Joe Satriani, Steve Morse, Jeff Healy, Tony Iommi, Uli Jon Roth, John Rzeznick, Michael Lee, Roger Glover, Ian Paice and Jon Lord, but rather to its unique voice. Whether he losrockt the first track "Unchain Your Brain" after a brachial prelude to the guitar orgy with Irrem pace, the desert Hard and Heavy Rock with "Sugar Plum" or Heavy Metal on "Trashed" and the madcap "No Laughing In Heaven" indulges, is melodious and pleasant to "A Day Late dollar Short NA" may be arranged, and in between lies down the flawless, ballad singing with Blue "When A blind Man Cries", no wishes remain open. Outstanding in all respects to one that ingeniously arranged blues rock song "No Worries " and the guitar rock dramatically interesting built "Loving On Borrowed Time". Of course, not only Deep Purple fans will bathe in the new recording of "Smoke On The Water", a very compact version with lots of guitar solos by Steve Morse.
