Transcription
Background and recording
The album was produced by Phil Kaffel and recorded at the Plant Studios in Sausalito, California and although the record, released through Music For Nations, did not shift in large quantities Freak of Nature's relentless work ethic brought in many admirers. The band toured for eight months in support of the album, playing a mixture of headlining shows, mainly in Britain, including gigs at the Roskilde Festival on July 2, and support slots for Helloween in September and Dio in November.[1]
Release and promotion
"Rescue Me" was released as the lead single for the album[2] and "Turn the Other Way" was also released as a promo single. Both singles featured music videos.
"Possessed" and "Are You Ready?," were co-written with original guitarist Oliver Steffensen before he left the band and was replaced by Dennis Chick.[3][4] Steffensen and Tramp had written four other songs, "Blame It on the Fool," "One Love," "Disturbing the Peace," and "Back Where You Belong," which were later released on Outcasts.[5]
Tramp remarked that the producer Phil Kaffel "captured the raw energy" of the band perfectly and recorded them entirely live in less than a week,[6] which he said was a very different way of producing than his work with White Lion.
A concert from the supporting tour was released on DVD in 2004 titled "Freak of Nature: Live in Japan 1993".[7]
The album is dedicated to Tramp's son Dylan and Thin Lizzy vocalist Phil Lynott.[8]
