“’Bound For Glory,” explains Warwick, “a song for the lost but never lonely, walking tall in the face of everyday adversary, everyone has a story to tell, revolution begins in the mirror!!!”
“When it came time to pick one of these songs as a single,” adds Gorham, “we had a really hard time. There are so many really great tracks here and everyone had their favourites. But in the end, we all agreed that ‘Bound for Glory’ is the perfect choice and represents what Black Star Riders is all about.”
The single and album were produced & mixed by Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, Rush).
