Legend of The Lone Ranger

In the 1930s, an elderly Tonto tells a young boy the tale of John Reid, the Lone Ranger. An idealistic lawyer, he rides with his brother and fellow Texas Rangers in pursuit of the notorious Butch Cavendish. Ambushed by the outlaw and left for dead, John Reid is rescued by the renegade Comanche, Tonto, at the insistence of a mysterious white horse and offers to help him to bring Cavendish to justice. Becoming a reluctant masked rider with a seemingly incomprehensible partner, Reid pursues the criminal against all obstacles. However, John and Tonto learn that Cavendish is only part of a far greater injustice and the pair must fight it in an adventure that would make them a legend.

With attractive cover artwork delivered by the great Rainer Kalwitz comes this 5th studio album by the pair of Michael Voss & Mark Sweeney, who wrote and produced 11 new songs, performed by a total of no less than 32 guest musicians. What we get on Wolfpakk albums can be described as 'rock meets metal' (call it melodic metal, if you want) of a great diversity, depending on who sings. Working this way is OK, but you never get the feeling of listening to a real band, if you know what I mean.

Johnny Osbourne, one of the few remaining living titans of the golden age of reggae, returns to action with this upcoming album. The record was recorded in France with the French Connexion Band backing him up. They manage to play very much in the style of classic reggae backing bands like the Roots Radics, bringing an extremely authentic old school sound that evokes much of Osbourne's best-known work. A guest appearance by another legend, Lone Ranger, towards the end of the record is the icing on the cake.
