TONY MITCHELL – Hot Endless Summer Nights (2021)
TONY MITCHELL is best known as being the singer songwriter & fronting the ’90s classic hard rock band Kiss Of The Gypsy. He also recorded / toured with the likes of Alice Cooper, Alan Parsons, It Bites, etc, and was also the singer songwriter for Melodic Rock/AOR band Dirty White Boyz for their 2016 album release, “Down & Dirty”
In 2018, Mitchell released his solo album “Beggars Gold” to rave reviews, and 2020 saw Mitchell release his most successful album to date via AOR Heaven, “Church of a Restless Soul” that featured a duet with Danny Vaughn.
Nearly two years on, Tony Mitchell releases his third and most ambitious album to date, “Hot Endless Summer Nights” which predominately has an ’80s flavor as you can see in the cover art.
This is a wonderful ’80s inspired record with lyrics drawing on the experiences Tony had in the USA in the late Eighties. There’s many gems here from feel-good “Hot Endless Summer Nights”, the biographical “Blame it on the Rock n Roll”, ultra-dynamic ballad “Strong Enough”, the road anthem “Leave the World Behind” to the thought provoking climate change inspired track “Calling Mother Nature”.
Joining Tony there’s Midnite City guitarist Miles Meakin (Midnite City) and Nigel Bailey (3 Lions) on bass, so expect great musicianship.
Yeah, if you like classic ’80s-style AOR / melodic rock, you’ll love ”Hot Endless Summer Nights”.
