DAVE BURN (LEE SMALL lead vocals) – Nothing Is As It Seems (2021) *HQ Exclusive*
The name DAVE BURN might not be one you instantly recognise. But Paul Raymond fans will know him from the PRP (Paul Raymond Project). He was also lead guitarist for the late UFO legend on tour, and has his own band NOBODY’S FOOL.
But Burn needed to release another solo album to express other musical sides, and the result is “Nothing Is As It Seems” where he performs all instruments, joined by talented Lee Small (LIONHEART, SHY, PHENOMENA) on all vocals.
Co-produced & mastered by Jon Astley (The Who, George Harrison, Judas Priest, Rock Candy remasters) delivers 12 very well crafted classic hard rockers honed in the traditional sound of the genre, with classy vocals and interesting arrangements.
Well it’s pretty damn obvious that Dave Burns knows his way around a fretboard, but not in the over the top widdly widdly way. No overblown guitar wankery here, just a skillful delivery, with the superb vocals of Lee’s filling in the gaps, to deliver a rip roaring, foot tapping slab of hard rock…
