NEW VINYL LP ON UNIVERSAL 2021

2 X 180 GRAM VINYL.

The final Warner Bros. release for Dio after an 11-year run of hard-edged post-Sabbath recordings, Strange Highways is almost a return to early ’80s form for a group that hadn’t done anything particularly inspiring since 1984’s Last in Line. Joining the band’s namesake vocalist Ronnie James Dio on this 1994 release is an all-star lineup, including long-time drumming cohort Vinny Appice, bassist Jeff Pilson (most notably of Dokken, and an nice addition to the group, especially live), and unknown guitarist Tracy G. Dio is in fine voice as usual, especially on “Hollywood Black” and the emotive opener “Jesus, Mary & the Holy Ghost.”
