Kitchener's Brian Vollmer has stepped out from the shadow of his legendary metal band Helix to forge a dazzling new solo disc, Get Yer Hands Dirty. He goes for a more classic rock vibe with lots o' boogie thrown in for good measure. The album's hard driving and guitar driven but there's a lot of soul and funkiness in its veins.
This remarkable collection features kick ass covers of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Rose Tattoo, Terry Reid, Long John Baldry, Slade, Fleetwood Mac and more. To top it off, there's two thrilling originals: When the Bitter’s Got the Better of You and Get Yer Hands Dirty.
Vollmer's aided and abetted by a team of sensational musicians, including:
- Gavin Brown (drums, co-producer)
- Sean Kelly (guitar, co-producer)
- Daryl Gray (also of Helix) (bass)
- Matt Weidinger (keyboards)
- Cheryl Lescom (background vocals)
- Danko Jones (co-lead vocals on title track)
Blast from the Past: Helix Nominated for Music Express Award
