Alien Cowboys Review of "Lift" @ iTunes By: Robert Silverstein till riding high with their dramatic approach to guitar-based, rock-soundtrack instrumentals, Alien Cowboys return in 2003 with Lift. Perhaps the quartet's definitive statement on CD to date, the eleven track instrumental album mixes inspired originals with well chosen rock instro covers of The Beatles ("Hey Bulldog"), Hendrix ("Spanish Castle Magic") and legendary U.K. producer Joe Meek ("Telstar"). Armed with a fresh batch of rocked-out guitar-based instrumentals, Alien Cowboys assemble a winning combination on Lift. The first edition of the CD features a bonus DVD video of the lead-off track "Escape From ONLYON". Aided by producer / engineer Bill Drescher, guitarists Ralph Perucci (lead guitar), Bruce Stevenson (rhythm guitar), Greg Jones (bass) and Ian Thomson (drums) keep the Alien Cowboys flag flying high with Lift. © Robert Silverstein / MusicWeb Express 3000 Escape From ONLYON Bondage Flight 222 Hey, Bulldog You Want It You Got It Battle Of The Planets
