Lynch & Pilson (and Martin) take an originally dull, and emotionless One Republic song and give it a Rock edge. “Apologize” would have made a great choice for the first single. “Music” was the song where Madonna lost her magic touch, and this echoey, effects-laden version isn’t much better. There are better reinterpretations on this album to have been released first.
Lynch and Pilson released their cover of Duran Duran’s “Ordinary World” as the first single, but the track is pretty similar to the original. The gang injects a lot more energy into Carole King’s “I Feel the Earth Move.” George shows why he’s the master of his instrument during the break. Lynch and Pilson are laying down some funky grooves while guest vocalist Marq Torien delvers a soulful performance on “You Got the Love.” It’s not the most recognizable song by Rufus and Chaka Khan, but it will probably entice you to check out the original. Wil Martin injects a lot of emotion and melody into his delivery. “One of Us” is a dark and haunting interpretation of the Joan Osbourne hit. Listen to our George Lynch interview HERE The Album
The song selection is an eclectic mix of Pop, Singer-Songwriter, and Rock and Roll hits. Special guest vocalists include Angelo Moore (Fishbone) and Marq Torien (Bulletboys). The former Dokken alums are bringing along Wil Martin (Earshot) on vocals and Brian Tichy on drums. At the end of 2020, George Lynch & Jeff Pilson are doing it again with the release of their Heavy Hitters covers album. 2019 saw the duo reunite again under the moniker The End Machine (with Mick Brown & Robert Mason) for the release of their self-titled album. In 2011 under the name T & N (with Mick Brown & Brian Tichy), they released Slave to the Empire. They first teamed up as a duo under the name Lynch/Pilson for the 2003 album Wicked Underground. George Lynch and Jeff Pilson go way back to when they were bandmates in Dokken from 1983-1989. There is nothing good to say about this release.
