- Hawkestrel: Cover Ya Tracks
(2026, download / streaming, --, bandcamp)
(2026, cd, USA, cleopatra)
The ever-proactive former Hawkwind bassist Alan Davey is back with his Hawkwind-adjacent space rock vehicle, Hawkestrel, delivering a stellar sonic trip titled "Cover Ya Tracks".
Released via Cleopatra Records, this 11-track collection shifts the focus heavily onto cosmic cover versions and jaw-dropping archival guest performances, crafting an alternate-dimension tribute to both space rock royalty and classic rock heavyweights.
The roster of guest musicians assembled here reads like a dream lineup from the outer edges of the universe. Alan Davey masterfully weaves historic and newly arranged tracks, integrating contributions from legendary, dearly departed Hawkwind alumni alongside unexpected icons.
There is the celebration of Hawkwind with renditions of 'Hall of The Mountain Grill' and 'Brainstorm', but where "Cover Ya Tracks" truly surprises, is in its bold reimaginings of classic rock songs.
Check it out at Bandcamp.
Also available on CD and on LP.
