Apart from being the frontman of one of the iconic metallic bands of all time, Rob Halford has been recognized to dabble in different musical efforts once in a while. From visitor appearances on Dolly Parton‘s Rockstar to an album of Christmas carols recorded together with his family and friends, the person likes to set a while away from Judas Priest to precise himself.
One such challenge that’s been within the works for a number of years now has been Halford’s long-awaited solo blues album. With the current launch of Invincible Protect, the Metallic God has been making the rounds with interviewers all around the world to unfold the information. Throughout a current interview with Germany’s Rock Antenne (as transcribed by Blabbermouth), the dialogue switched to Halford’s blues efforts, the place he supplied an thrilling progress report on it.
“You might have heard often right here and there that I’ve had this ambition at the very least to make a blues album. As a result of metallic, all rock and roll comes from the blues; all the things in music comes from the blues to a terrific extent. And so, as a result of I’m a blues fan, I’ve all the time needed to discover that territory.
“And so, going again a number of years, my brother and my nephew Alex, Ian Hill’s son on bass, and a pal of ours, we did the Celestial Christmas album collectively. After which, in the direction of the tip of these periods, I stated to the blokes, ‘Why don’t we simply make a blues album?’ Okay, that’s a easy concept, isn’t it?
“So now we have the music prepared, now we have all of those songs able to go, and it’s nearly timing. Timing and planning is so vital in our world, in music. In order that’s one factor I would love to do, and after I get the time to do it, I shall do it.”
Now, I’m unsure what precisely he meant by “now we have the music prepared.” When he says music, does that embody his vocals? If that’s the case, does that imply it’s being blended and mastered? Or does Halford should now discover time to get again into the studio to file his vocal components? Relying on what he meant, that might imply the file’s not too distant, given his present Judas Priest commitments, or it might nonetheless be a very long time earlier than we hear the completed product.
Both means, I believe it is going to be nice to listen to Halford actually do one thing else. Take heed to his vocals on songs like “Price Preventing For” and “Diamonds and Rust” and inform me he wouldn’t fucking kill it in a blues file.
