This Weeks Demon Cuts dives deep into Jimmy Page’s 1988 solo album Outrider — the forgotten chapter of a survivor. This is the story of a man clawing his way back from loss, addiction, stolen demo tapes, and the shadow of Led Zeppelin… and somehow creating one of the rawest, most overlooked statements of his career.

In this episode, we break down the essential tracks, including:

• Wasting My Time (feat. John Miles)

• Writes of Winter (Grammy-nominated instrumental)

• The Only One (with Robert Plant & Jason Bonham)

• Emerald Eyes (the closest Outrider gets to late-era Zeppelin magic)

• Blues Anthem (feat. Chris Farlowe sounding more Mississippi than British)

We explore the Bonham bloodline, the Page–Plant spark hidden in the middle of the ’80s, the Kramer guitar shock, and why this album deserved so much more love than it ever received.

The Bullet That Missed?
Not the music — the critics who didn’t realize Jimmy Page was being reborn right in front of them.
