Nothin' But Trouble (Blue Murder Album)
''Nothin' But Trouble'' is the second and final studio album by hard rock band Blue Murder. Released on 31 August 1993 by Geffen Records, the album was produced by the band's vocalist-guitarist John Sykes. After the disappointing sales of their 1989 debut album, Blue Murder entered a long period of inactivity. According to bassist Tony Franklin and drummer Carmine Appice, Sykes was deeply affected by the record's failure. Eventually the group began work on another album, but progress was slow, partly due to Sykes constructing a new home studio. Meanwhile, Franklin and Appice grew increasingly tired of waiting. Appice left Blue Murder in early 1991 and was briefly replaced by Anders Johansson. Franklin announced his departure in August 1991. Sykes was eventually joined by bassist Marco Mendoza and drummer Tommy O'Steen. However, Franklin had already recorded seven of the songs, while Appice was brought back briefly as session drummer on nine. Keyboardist Nik Green, meanwhile, w ...
