This week marks the 30th anniversary of one of the most influential albums in my life. Ride The Lightning by Metallica.
In honour of this milestone I decided to record an acoustic version of one of the tracks from the album. When I started this off I was not expecting it to be Creeping Death, it just ended up being the track that, for me, worked.
