Notes: Scorpions: Klaus Meine (vocals); Michael Schenker, Rudolf Schenker (guitar); Lothar Heimberg (bass); Wolfgang Dziony (drums). This is a reissue of Scorpions' first LP. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Scorpions: Klaus Meine (vocals); Michael Schenker, Rudolf Schenker (guitar); Lothar Heimberg (bass guitar); Wolfgang Dziony (drum). Something of an anomaly for the Scorpions, Lonesome Crow focuses on deep, dark melodies that sound like a bad combination of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and the Rolling Stones. Although Michael Schenker provides some strong guitar melodies, the album fails to capture any real interest. Klaus Meine's voice, which usually has a tenor pitch, is flat and dull. Neither harmonic nor interesting, Lonesome Crow is one of the Scorpions' weaker releases. ~ Barry Weber

Scorpions are one of Germany's most popular rock exports. As part of the first wave of 1970s heavy metal, the band played a tight melodic version of the increasingly harder and heavier rock that was becoming popular at the time. Scorpions would go on to influence hair-metal acts like Motley Crue, as well as more aggressive bands like Megadeth and Metallica. The band's 1989 Cold War power-ballad "Winds of Change" was an international smash and sold several million copies worldwide.
