Robin McAuley on Michael Schenker, McAuley Schenker Group and Black Swan

Robin McAuley joins Phil Aston on the Now Spinning Magazine Podcast to look back on the McAuley Schenker Group years, from how he first connected with Michael Schenker to the making of Perfect Timing, Save Yourself and M.S.G.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Robin discusses songwriting with Michael, the challenge of breaking through in the late ’80s, why some of those albums were overlooked at the time, and why the songs still stand up so well today.

He also reflects on Grand Prix, his musical influences including Thin Lizzy, Paul Rodgers and Creedence Clearwater Revival, and brings things right up to date with the new Black Swan album Paralyzed.A warm, honest and uplifting conversation with one of melodic rock’s great voices.
