Don't Look Back, the debut album by Richmond, Virginia Metal act RED REIGN, bridges the sounds of the old school with the modern era. The album was produced by Grammy Award Nominee and multi-platinum producer David Ivory, and features a guest spot by legendary shredder George Lynch (LYNCH MOB, KXM, ex-DOKKEN) on the album's title track.
Even though Don't Look Back marks the first studio album for the group, vocalist Carlton "Bubba" McMcihael, guitarist Stevie Shred, bassist Larry Moore, and drummer Sammy Lee have already shared stages with TESLA, EXTREME, DOKKEN, LITA FORD, and JACKYL.
I had the chance to catch up with Sammy Lee to discuss Don't Look Back, how they landed George Lynch, what he thinks of LYNCH MOB calling it a day, the stories behind the singles, signing with Deko Entertainment, realizing his music on the vinyl format, working with producer David Ivory, his favorite live performance, their upcoming tour, and much, much more.
