Award-winning
blues artist Lisa Mann shocked her fans when she released a full length
traditional metal album in 2020, The Poisoner. The album received much
critical acclaim from underground metal outlets worldwide, with many
comparing her voice to that of Ann Wilson and Ronnie James Dio. In 2021,
Lisa began cooking up a plan to record a cover of Rainbow's epic
Dio-fronted song, "Stargazer." Fellow blues artist Alastair Greene
shares a love for all things old-school metal and rock, and agreed to
lend his guitar playing prowess to the song. On keyboards, Lisa enlisted
the help of Eric Lawrence, who played progressive rock with her back in
her earliest years as a working musician. And to fill out the line-up,
none other than Dio/ Black Sabbath drummer Vinny Appice filled the
percussion chair. All musicians tracked remotely, and the final takes
were taken to Opal Studio where engineer Kevin Hahn recorded Lisa's
vocals and mixed and mastered the entire song.
