Скачать или смотреть Episode 93 - Sweet "Fox on the Run" Guitar Cover

(Headphones or Stereo Speakers Recommended 🎧)

In Episode 93, I cover my first favorite song from my childhood, "Fox on the Run". The song is from 1975 by the British glam rock band Sweet, first recorded in 1974. It was the first Sweet single written by the band, rather than by producers Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, and was their 14th single overall. The song became the best charting single in Australia in 1975, with six weeks at number one. It is about the band's groupie. She remains unnamed on purpose.

Two versions were recorded by Sweet. The original version was produced by Mike Chapman in association with Nicky Chinn on the European version of the 1974 album Desolation Boulevard. Sweet also recorded and produced a more pop-oriented rendition as a 7" single in 1975, which is the more familiar version of the song. The 1975 single was included on the Capitol Records version of Desolation Boulevard.

The song's inclusion in the trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 led to a #1 spot on the iTunes Rock Chart 41 years later in 2016.

The attractive "clickbait" person in the thumbnail is me. The other person is Suzanne Somers. I remember being 10 years old in school and having kids on the school bus singing this song at the top of their lungs and dedicating it to her. If you lived in the 70's, consider yourself very fortunate, it was AWESOME!!

Gear used in the video:
I used my Adam Jones Tribute Silverburst Les Paul guitar with a Seymour Duncan Distortion pickup in the bridge. My guitar parts were played through my Eleven Rack which was recorded, mixed, and arranged through Logic. The video was edited with Final Cut Pro.

I use Ernie Ball Strings because I want the best like many of my idols like Paul Stanley, Jimmy Page, Billie Joe Armstrong, Angus Young, Joe Bonamassa, and Paul McCartney to name a few.

Thank you for your support of the channel and for keeping the music that created the soundtrack of our lives alive and well.
