CD Reviews: Music critic Kevin Bryan delivers his verdict on some interesting new releases

Wild Horses,”Standing Our Ground-Complete Recordings 1978-1981” (HNE/Cherry Red)- This all encompassing 6 CD set brings together every recording that this relatively short lived rock “supergroup” made during its brief existence, drawing on an assortment of studio albums, demos, singles and live recordings which were captured for posterity at London’s legendary Marquee Club and Tokyo’s Nakano Sun Plaza in 1980. Wild Horses were formed in 1978 when gritty Glaswegians Brian Robertson and Jimmy Bain parted company with Thin Lizzy and Rainbow respectively after contributing to a couple of highly regarded live albums, and their tuneful approach to the hard rock genre often echoed the creative output of Robertson’s previous employers. Their Trevor Rabin produced debut set was a particularly impressive piece of work which found the band striving manfully to establish themselves as a solid commercial proposition via fine tracks such as “Street Girl,” “Criminal Tendencies” and their Phil Lynott collaboration,”Flyaway.”
