Kicks After Six

The song Kicks After Six stands out for being the only one on the album Crazy World that includes Francis Buchholz as a co-writer. This track, which has a duration of 3:50, is characterized by its contagious energy and a sound that reflects the essence of 90s hard rock. The production, handled by Keith Olsen, was done with a fresh approach, marking a shift from the band's previous works, which were usually under the direction of Dieter Dierks. The recording involved several engineers, including Shay Baby and Attie Bauw, contributing to the richness of the final sound.

The album Crazy World, released on November 6, 1990, was a milestone for Scorpions, as it became the band's first record to reach number one in Germany. In the context of their career, this album marked an evolution in their style, with a stronger focus on the US market. Although Kicks After Six did not achieve the same notoriety as other singles from the album, such as Wind of Change, its inclusion in the band's repertoire highlights the diversity of their music and the collective talent that composes it. The final mix of the track, handled by Olsen and Erwin Musper, captures the essence of the rock of the era, offering amateur musicians an opportunity to explore a vibrant and dynamic sound in their own interpretations.
