Ricky Warwick, founder of The Almighty, Black Star Riders, The Fighting Hearts, acclaimed and respectful frontman of Thin Lizzy since 2011, remains unstoppable.\u2028\u2028This time he’s on a solo run with the release of his new album \u003ci\u003eBlood Ties\u003c\/i\u003e. \u2028\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledging that it was time to mine a deep seam for this record, the busiest man in the business has left nothing in the dressing room. Big cathartic guitar sounds and life-affirming, often joyous assessments of where he stands in this time and place make this album a standout piece of work in a career that has spanned over four decades. The Northern Irish man has spent his time well and the foundations for an album such as \u003ci\u003eBlood Ties\u003c\/i\u003e have been laid on solid ground. \u2028\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a solo artist and an esteemed singer\/songwriter in his own right, Ricky Warwick has also collaborated with some of the finest musicians on the planet, with \u003ci\u003eBlood Ties\u003c\/i\u003e featuring Billy Duffy (The Cult), Lita Ford and Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke). Ricky has gathered many strings to his bow and his capacity to deliver new work to an appreciative fanbase with the accuracy of a perfectly flighted arrow is beyond impressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving written with his friend and creative compadre Mr Keith Nelson (Buckcherry, Velvet Revolver, Blackberry Smoke) on this album, Ricky stresses that the guitars are turned up “beyond driven” on \u003ci\u003eBlood Ties\u003c\/i\u003e. When Warwick is as happy as this with a new work, you can rest assured there’s another hit album barrelling down the track... And it’s coming at a pace.    \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD - Alt Cover","offer_id":50493988372811,"sku":"2224942","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":50493985554763,"sku":"2224940","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Red","offer_id":50493986341195,"sku":"2224941","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50493984735563,"sku":"2224939","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Screenshot_2024-09-30_at_13.07.38_8c59bc68_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1727702466"},{"product_id":"fire-and-vengeance","title":"Fire and Vengeance","description":"\u003cp\u003eRicky Warwick is one of rock’n’roll’s last true rebels. Whether singing and playing guitar with gasoline-fuelled rockers The Almighty, fronting the resurrected Thin Lizzy and their subsequent incarnation Black Star Riders, or performing as an acclaimed solo artist, he’s always been driven by those increasingly scarce commodities: honesty, passion and emotion. It’s these attributes and Warwick’s tireless dedication to music that’s seen him achieve decades of storming the charts (including multiple Top 10 albums).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving just been awarded the Ards International Guitar Festival Lifetime Achievement Award in his homeland of Belfast, Warwick continues building his legacy this year with his electrifying ninth solo album, \u003cem\u003eFire And Vengeance\u003c\/em\u003e. It’s a record that showcases a musician at the very peak of his powers and, lyrically, he’s up there with the very best – a working class poet whose songs combine the autobiographical, the observational, the political, the cynical and the heartfelt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new album sees him reunite once more with musical partner-in-crime Keith Nelson, the former guitarist with Buckcherry who co-produced, co-wrote and played on 2025’s Blood Ties.
