Lillian Axe Love & War

2017, LOVE AND WAR showcases a decidedly edgy band, one keen to explore and experiment with arrangements and performances that are light years ahead of the competition. In addition, the production, courtesy of British engineer Tony Platt (Def Leppard, AC/DC, Krokus) presented the band and their songs in a wide screen style, accentuating every twist and turn with pin-point accuracy. High points are many, but ,,The World Stopped Turning", ,,Show A Little Love" and ,,She Likes It On Top" indicate the first rate quality. Listen out too for a choice cover of ,,Girl's My Number". Issued in mid-1999, the record registered barely a blip on the radar. Both management and label inexplicitly backing off when they were needed most. And that's a crying shame as this album is truly one of the most sensational records of the era, a buried treasure waiting to be rediscovered.
