Black Star Riders frontman Ricky Warwick will release two solo albums in February.
'When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy Mitchell Sang The Blues)' and the acoustic 'Hearts On Trees' are set to arrive, on double CD, on February 26 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment.
The albums boast appearances by Joe Elliot (Def Leppard), Damon Johnson (Thin Lizzy/Black Star Riders), Andy Cairns (Therapy?), Billy Morrison (Billy Idol), Nathan Connolly (Snow Patrol), Ginger Wildheart, Jake Burns (Stiff Little Fingers), Richard Fortus (Guns ‘N’ Roses/The Dead Daisies) and Mark Thwaite (The Mission, Peter Murphy). Discussing the records, Warwick said:
"'Hearts On Trees' and 'When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy Mitchell Sang The Blues)' were written by myself and my good friend Sam Robinson, both albums depict our experiences of growing up and coming from the Greater East Belfast area, not only experiences that have happened to us but historical references and stories that have been told to us by friends and family...in saying that both albums translate those experiences on to a global scale that hopefully anyone geographically can relate to.”
Ricky Warwick & The Fighting Hearts will support Stiff Little Fingers on their upcoming UK tour.
