Mick Jones chats to David Randall (repeat)

In 2009 Foreigner released their first studio album in 15 years: the critically acclaimed 'Can't Slow Down'.  The band was formed in 1976 by Mick Jones (ex-Spooky Tooth)  together with fellow Brit Ian McDonald (ex-King Crimson).  Enjoying massive success with their eponymous debut album, the band went on to sell over 70 million albums but imploded in the late 1980s after the departure of vocalist Lou Gramm and the less successful album 'Unusual Heat' in 1991.

In 2004 the band reconstituted for some live shows with ex-Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson and Jason Bonham on drums.  Kelly Hansen joined in 2005 and together with Thom Gimbel (sax, guitar), Michael Bluestein (keys), and original member Mick Jones recorded the comeback album 'Can't Slow Down' released in 2009.

David Randall was one of the first UK broadcasters to talk to Mick Jones about the album and the first broadcast was on 18 October 2010, five months ahead of the UK release date.
