DAMON JOHNSON & The Get Ready – Battle Lessons (2021)
DAMON JOHNSON (Black Star Riders, Thin Lizzy, Alice Cooper) will release his new work, “Battle Lessons’, on the 19th February 2021. The album sees Damon cementing his band line-up as DAMON JOHNSON & The Get Ready – drummer Jarred Pope (Tom Keifer) and bassist Robbie Harrington (Steve Vai) – and is the follow up to the 2019 album “Memoirs Of An Uprising”.
“Battle Lessons” is a stunning collection of nine original songs from the infectious melodies of album opener and title track “Battle Lessons” or the groove riffing of “Shadow Country”, to the driving chorus of “Brace For Impact” and the beautiful acoustic “Love Is All You Left Behind” – this is an album infused with melody and emotion.
Written and recorded throughout 2020, the album was produced and mixed by Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush) a connection Damon made whilst working with Nick on Black Star Riders.
