Yardbirds Experience

As can be seen by the name, The Yardbirds Experience features the talents of Yardbirds drummer Jim McCarty alongside other sixties luminaries from the same period of British Rock Music. The band for this recording includes former Jimi Hendrix bassist Noel Redding, Downliners sect members Don Crane and Keith Grant and former Creation guitarist Eddie Phillips. Holding it all together at the front is former Nashville Teens vocalist Ray Phillips.

The band were a regular attraction on the London gig circuit during the late eighties and early nineties and were the catalyst for McCarty to reform the Yardbirds on a more full time basis.

Originally recorded and released in 1996 this album features material that reflects the bands illustrious membership. Tracks include a Jimi Hendrix Trilogy of Hey Joe/The Wind Cries Mary/Purple Haze, Shapes of Things 96, Tobacco Road 96 and Train Kept A Rollin’ 96. There is also a cover of the Led Zeppelin classic Whole Lotta Love and a number of original compositions written for the album.

Fans of Classic Rock music played at its best will appreciate the album as will fans of the various bands whose members make up the line up of this band.
