2020 has been one helluva productive year for Alan Davey. Not only did Mr. Davey, best known as the former bass player for British space rock legends Hawkwind, launch a new album by his Hawkwind supergroup Hawkestrel, the adventurous\u00a0Pioneers Of Space<\/em>, but he also saw the release of a 4CD set of demos called\u00a0Four-Track Mind<\/em>\u00a0as well as a 3CD set from Davey\u2019s prog rock side project Pre-Med and even joined Danny B. Harvey\u2019s rockabilly project Headcat 13 for an album! And now to top it all off, Davey has returned with a sleigh full of superb musical guests on an all-new Hawkestrel Christmas album!\u00a0SpaceXmas<\/em>\u00a0includes performances by former Deep Purple vocalist Glenn Hughes, keyboard wizard Rick Wakeman, The Doors\u2019 Robby Krieger plus Hawkwind alums Huw Lloyd-Langton, Nik Turner, and lots more who blaze their way through revamped versions of holiday favorites such as \u201cWe Three Kings,\u201d \u201cO Come All Ye Faithful\u201d and \u201cSilent Night\u201d next to original compositions such as \u201cIt\u2019s A Wonderful (Funny Old) Life\u201d and the hilarious \u201cTwelve Daze Of Drinxmas.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Davey had this to share about the album, \u201cMy goal with this album was to turn Xmas songs into non-cheesy space rock pieces anyone could enjoy listening to. That was difficult enough, but in 110 degrees Fahrenheit in July\/August and in the Californian high desert was kind of surreal. It turned out better than I expected…….Happy SpaceXmas!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


SpaceXmas<\/em>\u00a0is available now digitally as well as on CD and in a very special limited edition Christmas color splattered vinyl!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
