Studio album from the ex. White Lion and Freak Of Nature frontman.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019ve lost count of how many times I\u2019ve been asked. That if I could do it all over again, what would I change? It\u2019s a tricky question and for an artist, sometimes an unfair one. <\/p>\n
Because when we looked back, hindsight is always 20\/20 and we know it all, and familiar with the Monday morning quarterback scenario, where everyone knows where he should have thrown the ball or kicked it. What the hell did I know when I walked into the recording studio the first time in 1976 to record my first album? The answer is nothing, and I can honestly admit, it didn\u2019t really change 10 years or 20 years later on. With every album I recorded or every tour I finished I always came home with so much more knowledge than when I started it, and always wished I\u2019d known it all at the beginning. <\/p>\n
I often listen to my many previous solo albums and say to myself I should have sung it this way or changed the melody that way. At the same time, I accept that it was the best I could do at that moment! I worked with what I had and knew. This life doesn\u2019t often give you a Second Time Around, but if it does – consider yourself lucky and grab it. The songs on \u201cSecond Time Around\u201d have been with me for a long, long time. I remember writing the first song \u201cWhen She Cries\u201d, October 2, 2005 the day after my daughter Isabel had been born. It was like a whole new door opened and all these songs came out over the next few months along with a whole other bunch of songs, which have all ended up on different albums. You can say it was the most creative time in my 44 years in the rock\u2019n\u2019roll uniform. <\/p>\n
Still it was also a time where I was floating around between good and bad and didn\u2019t know where I should go with my career. I was very confused and had no one in my life I could trust to guide me. Should I follow the idea of a new version of White Lion, which at that time I was in the middle of and kept me awake all night and many times left me with so much regret and shame? Or should I continue with what I had started in 1996, when I recorded my first solo album \u201cCapricorn\u201d and became a solo artist, and by 2005 had a total of four solo albums behind me that actually told me, it is clear who Mike Tramp is as an artist. But very unusual for Mike Tramp, I was lost and could not find anything to hold on to.<\/p>\n
My second child had just been born, life was suddenly different, and my rock\u2019n\u2019roll world was changing faster than I could run.<\/p>\n
The songs on \u201cSecond Time Around\u201d are some of my favorite compositions, and for many years I have gone around with a feeling that they were never given a real chance. I have missed them in my live shows and I have missed singing them. So when I made the decision to rebuild and resurrect this bunch of songs, with the help of my trusted brothers in rock\u2019n\u2019roll who have all been a part of my last seven solo albums in different ways, it was truly a chance to go for a \u201cSecond Time Around\u201d, and this time I grabbed it, clear in my mind and focused like never before. A great moment of embracing that the songs I have written always clearly expresses who Mike Tramp is. <\/p>\n
I am proud of these songs. They are like my other albums and 100% representation of who Mike Tramp is. If aliens came down to earth and happened to pick up \u201cSecond Time Around\u201d as the first Mike Tramp album they heard, I would be truly proud and confident that all of my DNA, would be in this album”.
