Review GRAHAM BONNET BAND “Lost in Hollywood Again”

Graham Bonnet is one of the legendary rock ‘n’ roll singers. He was in bands like Rainbow and Alcatrazz. Bonnet has also worked with guitar virtuoso Michael Schenker and has been part of several other projects and bands. The singer has released several solo albums under the moniker Graham Bonnet Band, and he is now launching a live album with his band.

On August 29, 2024, he performed at the legendary Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood. The show was recorded and will be released this week as “Lost in Hollywood Again,” a title that refers to the finale of the show. “Lost in Hollywood” was the closing song that night, and the Rainbow classic is a fitting way to end a night that captured the most important moments of Bonnet’s career.

Rainbow played an important role in Bonnet’s musical career, so it’s no surprise that four songs from Ritchie Blackmore’s legendary band are at the top of the setlist. These include “Eyes of the World” and the smooth rocker “All Night Long,” which also made an encore appearance.

Listening to the songs on “Lost in Hollywood Again” is like walking down memory lane through the world of ’80s hard rock. Rock anthems like “Since You Been Gone,” “Assault Attack,” and “Too Young to Die, Too Drunk to Live” are revived by Bonnet.

With its authentic sound, the live album is a well-crafted compilation of timeless hard rock classics.
