Orgy Of The Damned (2024) by Slash - This is what you get when Slash picks a bunch of old standards, builds a backing band and has guest vocalists for all the songs. Surprisingly his guitar playing is not over the top and a lot of the time is actually mixed further back, leaving the spotlight for the vocals, though there is some very tasty blues-rock playing to be heard. Talking of vocalists, it's quite a list: Chris Robinson, Gary Clark jr., Billy Gibbons, Chris Stapleton, Dorothy, Iggy Pop, Paul Rogers, Demi Lovato, Brian Johnson (AC/DC), Tash Neal and Beth Hart. There's only one lemon on the album, sandwiched by a fantastic Key to the Highway, featuring Dorothy and a good rendition of Born Under a Bad Sign by Paul Rogers, it's a truly horrendous Awful Dream by Iggy Pop, the guy just flat out can not sing, it's truly awful.
The RS-1x sounded superb with this album, crunchy guitars, punchy bass and vocals allowed to sound their best - happy with the choice.
