While he never had the high profile solo career promised by his 1985 debut album Dangerous Music and Journey-esque minor hit single Heartline, or indeed his heartthrob good looks reminiscent of the young Rick Derringer, Wolverhampton-born ROBIN GEORGE went on to earn an illustrious reputation as sideman guitar with the likes of David Byron, Phil Lynott, Robert Plant, Magnum and Glenn Hughes. He sadly passed in April, but now has a posthumous release with VIX FUZZBOX (whose solo album You he co-wrote and produced) playing and singing on his final project, the utterly infectious upbeat summer anthem that is Summertime Reggae Rule (Sing Song Records), also coming in Swing and Acoustic Electric mixes with the video on www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0cSshi4toQ. Utterly atypical of the music he was known for, but a celebration of life and living that deserves to afford him the belated send-off he deserves.
