Shaking the World
When Michael Schenker Fest released Resurrection in 2018, it had been a long time since we heard Robin McAuley’s legendary voice on a recorded album. The McAuley Schenker Group front man hasn’t let up since. After appearing on 2019’s Revelation album, Robin formed the supergroup Black Swan, featuring Jeff Pilson (Dokken, Foreigner), Reb Beach (Winger), and Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr. Big).
Their debut album Shake the World was released on Frontiers Music in 2020. Not willing to rest on that, McAuley returned to the studio to record his first solo album in over 20 years. Standing on the Edge finds Robin exploring the sounds and inspirations of his musical legacy. I had the chance to speak with Robin McAuley prior to the album’s release.

Discussion of his new solo album Standing on the Edge- Which musicians he brought in to contribute
