Reeves Gabrels on the Sunshine Rock Show
Posted in Music, Rock Radio on May 4, 2008 by rockofages
You hear very little these days about David Bowie’s 1988 solo career postponing “Tin Machine” project. Formed when Bowie became disillusion with his solo output, particularly the critical savaging handed out to the “Never Let Me Down” album and subsequent “Glass Spider” tour, Tin Machine marked a return to the rock arena for Bowie. A chance to re-explore his more experimental side lost since the 70s.
Sadly the project lasted just two albums, Bowie returning unsurprisingly to his solo career where Tin Machine guitarist Reeves Gabrels continued to work with him. On the Sunshine Rock Show tonight Jeff Collins interviews Gabrels on his time in Tin Machine, his work with Bowie and his own solo career.
Also featured are tracks from the new Def Leppard album, Welsh rockers Circle Of One and Hawkwind’s lesser known bass-player Alan Davey’s band Gunslinger.
