Duff McKagan Delivers Brilliance on His Solo Album ‘Lighthouse’
Duff McKagan’s recent album “Lighthouse,” released by BFD/Orchard/Sony, steps out of his renowned role with Guns N’ Roses to further cement his credentials as a songwriter.
The album, underpinned by themes of hope, showcases McKagan’s passion through a blend of country-punk influences. “Holy Water” stands out with its piano-led arrangement and evocative lyrics, while “Just Another Shakedown” offers an energetic burst of classic rock’n’roll.
McKagan enlists the talents of notable friends like Slash, Jerry Cantrell, and Iggy Pop for guest appearances, yet it’s clear that his own star quality and musicianship are more than enough to drive the album’s compelling narrative and sound.
