352 - Robin McAuley of Black Swan - New Album, Shake the World, and Health Scare

Robin McAuley is probably best known for his stint in the McAuley Schenker Group in the late 80s/early 90s – putting songs on rock radio like “Anytime” and “When I’m Gone.” McAuley has also spent time in Grand Prix, Survivor and Far Corporation. His latest project is a star-studded affair – Black Swan features McAuley on lead vocals along with Reb Beach of Winger and Whitesnake on guitars, Jeff Pilson of Dokken and Foreginer on bass, and Matt Starr of Ace Frehley and Mr. Big on drums. The combination of all four of these great musicians manages to sound both familiar and fresh. McAuley talks about how this all-star lineup came about, how vampires inspired one of the new songs, and how he almost died earlier in the year!
