Black Star Riders / The Almighty frontman, Ricky Warwick, has released the new single and music video, "The Crickets Stayed In Clovis", from his new solo record, Blood Ties, arriving on March 14 via Earache Records.
Says Warwick, "I’ve kept you waiting for this one - was it worth the wait?! My new single 'The Crickets Stayed In Clovis' is out now! We unashamedly fired up the Thin Lizzy harmony guitars on this one! You’ll find the track on my upcoming album Blood Ties, which you can pre-order now at earache.com/rickywarwick - heads up that the splatter vinyl edition is 50% sold out!
“'The Crickets Stayed In Clovis' is about how life can change in the blink of an eye, as was seen with the ill-fated plane journey that took the lives of Buddy Holly and three others. A few weeks before the flight, Buddy had fired his backing band, The Crickets. Waylon Jennings was supposed to be on the flight but gave his seat up to the Big Bopper, who had the flu and Waylon felt sorry for him. Ritchie Valens flipped a coin with Tommy Allsup for his seat, Ritchie won and lost his life.
"Life’s a game of chance, sometimes it’s better to play the long game and not be envious of others, as you never know what tomorrow brings."
Warwick previously stated: "Blood Ties is a look into my deepest, darkest personal demons - but I’ve made sure the guitars were turned up way beyond driven to turn that negativity into an uplifting slab of rock’n’roll that I can’t wait for all of you to hear. Along with Lita Ford, you’ll hear my partners in R’n'R Charlie Starr, Billy Duffy and Tuk Smith amongst others on the album. Thank you to everyone who helped me create Blood Ties but, most importantly, thanks to YOU for making sure that I can keep doing what I love: making music for each and every one of you."
The journey from Belfast to Los Angeles, entwined with a lifetime spent at the coalface of bona fide rock n roll, has made for a heady cocktail of creativity and popularity. Ricky Warwick, founder of The Almighty, Black Star Riders, The Fighting Hearts, acclaimed and respectful frontman of Thin Lizzy since 2011, remains unstoppable.
This time he’s on a solo run with the release of his new album, Blood Ties.
