Still loud, still honest, and still raising hell. Keefy sits down with rock legend Ricky Warwick (Black Star Riders, Thin Lizzy, The Almighty) to talk all things “Blood Ties” — his latest solo album, out now via Earache. With decades of rock and punk history under his belt, Ricky opens up about the raw emotion and real-life stories behind the new songs, the importance of staying true to your roots, and why “Blood Ties” is one of the most personal records he’s ever written. Ricky also discusses his producer and friend Keith Nelson (Buckcherry) and working with guests such as Lita Ford, Billy Duffy (The Cult), and Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke).
