Our Take
Our Take
★★★★☆
Well, well, well, look who's back with another banger! Ricky bloody Warwick, that's who. When Life Was Hard & Fast (+Bonus CD Stairwell Troubadour) is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking us from the highs of rock 'n' roll to the lows of heartbreak with Warwick's distinctive gravelly vocals leading the way.
The title track kicks things off with a bang, setting the tone for an album that doesn't hold back. Warwick's storytelling abilities shine through on tracks like "You Don't Love Me" and "I'd Rather Be Hit", where he bares his soul for all to see. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom - songs like "Time Don't Seem To Matter" and "Clown Of Misery" bring some much-needed lightness to the mix.
Warwick's bandmates deserve a shoutout too, with some killer guitar riffs and pounding drums that make you want to get up and dance. And let's not forget the bonus CD Stairwell Troubadour, featuring stripped-down versions of Warwick's classics that will tug at your heartstrings.
Overall, When Life Was Hard & Fast is a triumph for Warwick, showcasing his versatility as a musician and his ability to connect with his audience on a deeper level. So go ahead, give it a spin - you won't regret it. And remember, as Warwick himself would say, life may be hard and fast, but at least we've got the music to guide us through.

Whether he's belting out a heart-wrenching ballad or shredding on his guitar like a man possessed, Warwick always gives 110% on stage. And let's not forget his wicked sense of humour - this guy could have a career in stand-up comedy if the whole rockstar thing doesn't work out. But it's not just Warwick's music that sets him apart - it's his authenticity. In a world full of pretenders and posers, Warwick is a breath of fresh air.
