Udo has surprised listeners with unconventional decisions more than once, but for his seventieth anniversary the master of voice and stage energy gifts himself and his fans a special collection of celebratory songs, performing seventeen covers of artists who inspired him, not limiting to youthful favourites such as Queen, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Rainbow, Led Zeppelin or Uriah Heep, but also choosing many contemporaries and fellow scene companions like Motörhead, Scorpions, Judas Priest, and even more modern Wolfsheim song, crowning the colourful repertoire with the iconic anthem by Frank Sinatra, while adapting his characteristic, rebellious, peppery voice to each track; recorded during the pandemic between May and September 2021, a special album also helped the seasoned musician cope with life without live concerts; German three panel digipak edition comes with twenty four page booklet brimming with extensive liner notes and vintage photo collection
