available on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/golden-days/id1210453745

Before listening to this album by guitar legend Brian May and musical theater singer Kerry Ellis I was a bit hesitant. Being a rock fan and a not a great lover of musical theater I didn't know what to expect.

The album is a mixture of cover versions and original songs. If you're looking to hear Brian May's Red Special guitar you are probably going to love his version of Gary Moores Parisienne Walkways.  
As I pointed out I'm not a huge fan of musical theater and that style of singing. On saying that there can be no doubt after listening to this album of Kerry Ellis' singing ability and beauty of her voice.
Elvis' Can't Help Falling In Love is a particular high point for me as well as the lovely acoustic guitar intro played on Amazing Grace.

Conclusion: If you're expecting Queen then you're going to be disappointed. If you're expecting a Brian May solo album layered with guitar harmonies and hard rock riffs, again you're going to be disappointed.
If you enjoy a beautiful female voice with the elegant guitar work of a legend then you'll love this album.

Golden Days definitely deserves it's top 20 album chart position. 




The New Queen Monopoly Game Set



The New Monopoly Set based around Queen has been released.
Brian May (Queen Guitarist) went on Instagram and Twitter prior to release to show pictures of the new Monopoly set.

The board art work is that of the Queen Live Killers Album cover, while the the game has changed from a property game to a game following the rise of the band starting with their very first gig at Imperial College in 1970 to their last concert at Knebworth in 1986.
A nice touch is that the Monopoly game pieces include a radio from ‘Radio Ga Ga’, a cyclist for ‘Bicycle Race’, a robot for ‘News Of The World’, a hammer for ‘Hammer To Fall’, a vacuum cleaner for ‘I Want To Break Free’ and Brian May’s Red Special guitar.
