Description

Where were you in ’79 when the dam began to burst
Did you check us out down at the local show
Were you wearing denim, wearing leather
Did you run down to the front
Did you queue for your ticket through the ice and snow
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free

One of the metal genres best band is Saxon. Albums like Strong Arm Of The Law and Denim And Leather put both the band and heavy metal on the map in the early 80s. The lyrics to Denim And Leather tells you exactly what heavy metal was all about before the internet. Its a lifestyle as much as the love for the music. A collection of Saxon material can hardly dissapoint more than its to short. On this compilation we miss tracks such as Wheels Of Steel, Dallas 1pm, Crusader just to name a few. However many other classics can be found on here 747, And The Band Played On, Denim And Leather and Rock N Roll Gypsy. Solid, pure and tight riffs and Biffs vocals above that what more can you ask for. If you dont already have all studio albums with Saxon then this a must have album. Its also a good purchase for anyone that is just searching for good heavy metal.
