Released by in-akustik, the album features Schenker's band Temple of Rock which consists of ex-Scorpions Herman Rarebell (drums) and Francis Buchholz (bass), plus ex-Rainbow's Doogie White (vocals) and Wayne Findlay (guitar, keyboards). Doogie's Track by Track: Where The Wild Winds Blow - is a perfect example. When chorus kicks in I can see the audience rocking out. I always try to write for the live environment. That's when the songs really come alive. Horizons – We started playing it live on the last tour. Herman's drumming is awesome on this track. Lord Of The Lost And Lonely - has a Celtic vibe about it and the riff rocks and rolls. The chorus just bursts out on this song out, and drives right through. It's that small voice in the back of your mind that you know you really should listen to but can't. Rock'n' Roll Symphony - features Wayne holding the tune down with the Hammond under Schenker's rolling riff. It's a celebration of rock'n'roll in all its guises. I took song titles and phrases from the wider rock community and wrapped them up into a lyric. Live For The King - I was reading Richard Burton's Diaries and was thinking of how the stage, whether it is music, theatre or sport has a great hold on those who work it. It is hard to walk away when the spotlight dims. We don't do this for fame or fortune. We do it because it's who we are. It is our nature. Land Of Thunder - Another thunderously paced song with Herman and Francis slaying all comers with their driving powerhouse rhythm. The listener can take what they want from the lyrics - different days, moods, and interpretation. This song will be amazing live. Temple Of The Holy - has sinister undertones. It's a mid-paced song with a heavy riff and a melodic solo dancing majestically through the middle. Shine On - The melody over the riff is not what you'd expect, but it really works. Bridges We Have Burned - is the first song we wrote for the album. There is the chance, hopefully, of redemption for everyone. This was my way of asking for mine. If we can shake off our dark passengers, then, perhaps, the road may go on. Because You Lied - is the song that tested us all. It is so simple but so off the wall. I sang it live in the studio on a hand held SM58 in one take. We were not sure what was going on, really. Michael plugged in and had fun, too much fun. It's not typical of us, but it's cool. Black Moon Rising - The drama at the end of the song says more about it than I ever could. Dance for the Piper - is the last song we wrote for the album. It's a rather splendid way to lead us forward banners held high, not into the sunset, but to new horizons.
