█ Founded by English singer John Lawton (Lucifer's █
█ Friend, Uriah Heep, Zar) in January of 1994, █
█ GUNHILL was a project initially put together to █
█ tour Europe playing covers including classic songs █
█ from Whitesnake and Paul Rogers to Ritchie █
█ Blackmore's Rainbow, but progressively they also █
█ introduced some of their own original material to █
█ the live set. █
█ Including into the original line-up keyboardist █
█ Mike Raxworthy, great guitarist Riki Robyns, █
█ drummer Lloyd Coates, and bassist Neil Kavanagh █
█ (who also contributed with strong backing / lead █
█ vocals), after extensive rehearsals the group █
█ performed their first Gig in April '94. █
█ Playing just three times a month as originally █
█ planned, things accelerated very quickly to █
█ between 12 and 14 gigs, due to GunHill increasing █
█ popularity. Then they decided to record some of █
█ the covers they performed regularly as █
█ 'demonstration' for tour promoters - and for the █
█ fans. █
█ Only manufactured on cassette (remember those?) █
█ and entitled "One Over The Eight", the tracks were █
█ recorded, produced, and mixed by Kavanagh in his █
█ own home studio and sold through the Uriah Heep █
█ Appreciation Society fanclub, and at the band's █
█ gigs. █
█ In 1997 GunHill issued their first (and only) █
█ official CD 'Nightheat', featuring new songs from █
█ the band and other covers as well. But fans - at █
█ gigs and over the net - still requested the █
█ original "One Over The Eight" tape to be reissued █
█ on CD. The tracks were remastered by Lawton's long █
█ time friend ave White, and the album put on sale █
█ in 1999 on CDr via Heepster Records, the fansclub █
█ 'label'. █
█ And what about the music? Anyone who's a fan of █
█ classic rock / bluesy hard rock will enjoy this █
█ album, particularly if you like early David █
█ Coverdale / Whitesnake and Paul Rodgers / Bad █
█ Company material. John Lawton is top form here, █
█ and the guitar work of Riki Robyns is raw & █
█ rockin'. █
█ Amongst the highlights we have "Walking In The █
█ Shadow Of The Blues", that if you ask me, I think █
█ is superior to the original Whitesnake version. █
█ The Lennon / MacCartney classic "Eleanor Rigby" █
█ it's done with a killer raw edge, and Rainbow's █
█ "Stone Cold" rocks. █
█ There's some really good originals as well written █
█ by GunHill, being the Uriah Heep-ish "Angel" my █
█ favorite. █
█ For the reissue, the band recorded "River Of █
█ Dreams", a song composed by Dave White in █
█ appreciation for his work behind the remastering █
█ desk. █
█ Unfortunately, there was not master tapes of "One █
█ Over The Eight", as these tracks were recorded in █
█ two and a half days purely as promotion and █
█ because fans were asking if GunHill had some █
█ recorded stuff to sell at the initial gigs. █
