Featuring both original songs and judiciously chosen and meaningful cover versions from bands that he has worked with, ‘Timeline’ from The Chris Slade Timeline is both a celebration and a step forward. The album is released on 19 July 2024 on 2CD Digipack through BraveWords Records [Cat No BWRLCD002].
To mark the incredible milestone of Chris Slade‘s 50 year career as a professional rock drummer, The Chris Slade Timeline was formed in 2012 with hand-picked musicians. Chris first started his journey with Tom Jones at 16 years of age, and his career takes in stints in Manfred Mann, The Firm with Jimmy Page and AC/DC along the way; of course he’s now marking over 60 years of music!
Chris Slade himself said, “We, as The Chris Slade Timeline band, have toured UK and Europe extensively playing the hits from this lengthy career. After being asked many times if we were going to produce any new original songs of our own, I finally decided to put pen to paper and do something about it, so with the help of my band mates I present ‘Timescape’, our debut album. This album includes a playlist of nine original songs and a selection of hits from the many artists that I have been privileged to perform with over the last 60 years. I hope you enjoy it!”
Line-Up: Chris Slade, Bun Davis, Stevie Gee, James Cornford, Michael J Clark
