“Saiichi Sugiyama Band – Melting Away
As an exclusive taster of the forthcoming Saiichi Sugiyama Band album, due in 2017, the guitarist has released this driving, emotional slice of bluesy rock, featuring bass lines contributed by late Free bassist Andy Fraser.
Speaking of his friend’s passing, Saiichi comments “When I heard the news on 16 March 2015, I couldn’t believe my ears. Andy still had so much to offer and I was really looking forward to continuing to work with him.”
“This is one of the last tracks dad worked on,” Fraser’s daughters Jasmine and Hannah note, “and it’s wonderful that his music lives on and will continue to touch people.”
Reminiscent of Free at their most powerful, this is a worthy epitaph to a legendary British rock talent.”
