The hot house of creativity known as Donovan’s Brain delivers fourteen new musical hybrids with their ninth album Heirloom Varieties. The reckless cross-pollination of ideas is hard to avoid in this Paisley Underground recording collective which boasts four songwriters, five vocalists and six guitar players. The track Lightning Life balances dangerously on the shoulders of the thundering rhythm section powered by Ric Parnell (Atomic Rooster) on drums, and bassist Tom Stevens. Tom Stevens (Long Ryders) was invited to join The Brain primarily to fill the bass position. Tom has also offered up his guitar skills and voice.
