Motor Sister - Rides

Vinyl LP pressing. 2015 album from this rock supergroup. For his 50th birthday, Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian wanted one present more than any other - the reunion of one of his favorite unsung heroes, Mother Superior - only he wanted to be a part of the lineup. Thanks to Scott's wife Pearl Aday, who has been working with Mother Superior front man Jim Wilson for years, all it took was a quick phone call and the stage was literally set for Scott's dream gig. The band, which quickly gained the interests of Joey Vera (Armored Saint/Fates Warning) and John Tempesta (White Zombie, The Cult) called itself Motor Sister after the Mother Superior song "Little Motor Sister" and got together the day before the party to rehearse in Ian's jam room. Enthralled at the idea of making a record of his favorite Mother Superior songs, Ian contacted producer Jay Ruston. A week and a half later, they made the record in LA over a two day period, recording the whole thing live in the studio.
