FOREIGNER – Classics (2012)
*
“Classics” is a 2012 European release from rock legends FOREIGNER, a selection of their hits re-recorded with the new incarnation of the band, including vocalist Kelly Hansen (who joined in 2005), ex- Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson, multi-instrumentalist Tom Gimbel, keyboar player Michael Bluestein and drummer Mark Schulman.
These new versions never where released in Europe, and many of them only were available into special packages in America.
While there may be some who prefer remastered versions of the originals, the band in its latest incarnation is no second rate copy. These new takes don’t replace the immortal ’80s cuts, they just gives you Foreigner updated.
Digitally recorded and produced mastermind Mick Jones, from “Urgent”, “Head Games” or “Hot Blooded” to the mega-hit ballad “I Want to Know What Love Is”, the band delivers the goods and sounds energetic.
The set also includes the new song “Save Me” which was co-written with Mick Jones’ step-daughter and well known DJ & musician, Samantha Ronson.
