Album Tracks:

All tracks by Ian Gillan and Steve Morris except where noted. Notes from Ian Gillan’s Wordography where available.

  1. Dancing Nylon Shirt (Part 1)
    • https://gillan.com/wordography-20.html
    • One of the first ads on British TV was for ‘Raelbrook Poplin the shirt you don’t iron’ and the picture was of a row of freshly laundered shirts dancing happily whilst pegged to a washing line. These shirts never saw an iron in their entire lives. They went straight from the chorus line to the husband, and so everybody was very, very happy.
    • Of course that’s not really anything to do with the song, other than a symbolic trigger for another journey of lyrical wonderment. Very deep this one.
  2. Bed of Nails
  3. Gassed Up
  4. Everything I Need
  5. Dancing Nylon Shirt (Part 2)

Bustin’ Out The Spreadsheet

Reception and Charts:

  • The album was released only in Europe, Brazil, and Japan on the German label EastWest.
  • After the album’s release on October 14, 1991, Ian Gillan embarked on a 10 month tour to promote the album.

Reviews

  • GILLAN. TOOLBOX. East West- : October 14th 1991 : UK LP/CD
  • Eagerly awaited or at least looked forward to with curiosity by many of you, IAN GILLAN’s new album hit the stores just as we were finishing the magazine. I shall be interested to see how people take to it. NAKED THUNDER got a better reaction within the DPAS than I’d expected, and I wonder if I’ll be the only one feeling a little unsure about this new one. The unease stems from the feeling that they’ve concentrated too much on one aspect of Ian’s style and in so doing sacrificed much of what it is most of us love about his work; the humour and unpredictability.
  • Not that they’ve done a bad job you understand, but it lacks (to my ears) something to lift it or mark it out as more than just another competent rock album. And rock album it certainly is; forget the often commercial edges with which Naked Thunder abounded (and made its lack of success even more disappointing), here Ian and the band just go straight down the line from start to finish. That’s not to say he doesn’t hit you in places; most of TOOLBOX is great fun (life is indeed a box of rocks!) but few of the tracks keep it up all the way through. For me the opening track CANDY HORIZON is the best of the “straightforward” rock numbers. The tingle factor is supplied by the start of DON’T HOLD ME BACK, you can forgive him anything for the first few moments of this number. It’s down to the Beastie Boy/Aerosmith influenced DANCING NYLON SHIRT to provide what is still for me the albums real highlight though. Part 1 is good and when Ian launches into his “come here boy”, we’re back on real Gillan form. But it’s the reprise at the end of the album which takes me off – Ian seems to shrug off any restraints and just lays in to the lyrics. It’s imaginative, you can feel the spark and hear the enjoyment. Brilliant.
  • The Collector’s Guide to Heavy Metal: 6/10
  • AllMusic:⅗ (User:⅘)
  • https://www.allmusic.com/album/toolbox-mw0000598982
  • Toolbox Review by Jason Anderson
    • Ian Gillan’s final solo outing before his second comeback with Deep Purple is possibly the singer’s most rocking solo collection. Originally a European release, Toolbox finally appeared in North American record stores in 1997. The disc is hampered by its ’80s production (complete with faux-Van Halen guitar licks and big reverb drum sounds) but Gillan’s personality and dynamic performances preserve Toolbox’s sharp rock & roll edge. Tracks like “Candy Horizon” and “Don’t Hold Me Back” have more than their share of questionable lyrics, but Gillan’s trademark screams easily overshadow any poetic shortcomings. Nothing can compare to the classic recordings Gillan was involved with in the early ’70s, but among his second-tier offerings, Toolbox is definitely one of the best.

Candice Night on new solo album ‘Sea Glass’ featuring Ritchie Blackmore with Dawn Osborne/TotalRock (Update on Ritchie’s health at 33:50)

“As far as flying anywhere right now, Ritchie has actually been told by his cardiologist not to get in a plane. He had a heart attack about a year and a half ago. He’s got six stents.”

“And I can’t believe he’s gonna be 80 on April 14th, which is crazy, but he doesn’t look it, still doesn’t act it, but eventually medical things wind up catching up with you. So we’ve gotta make sure we keep him happy and healthy.”

Night continued:

“And he’s dealing with gout and some arthritic things. And, of course, his back has always been an issue for years. So it’s getting harder for him – it’s tricky – but, hey, I’ve seen people younger than him in wheelchairs on stage doing what they do. So I think he probably doesn’t want people to see him that way.”

“I see the other perspective – from a fan’s perspective, I would think people would just be happy to be under the same roof with him and listen to him play whatever he comes up with. So, we kind of have this discussion, or argument – I’ll say discussion – all the time.”

“But he was just recently at his cardiologist and they said, ‘Let’s put traveling by plane on hold.’ So, hopefully, we’ll get that all straightened out and that’ll change. But I’ll let you guys know if it does.”
