SAMMY HAGAR Announces New Rock-Collaborations Album ‘Sammy Hagar And Friends’ – June 26, 2013

On the eve of his fourth decade in rock and roll, Grammy Award-winning Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Sammy Hagar has teamed with a seminal array of his legendary rock and country artist friends and bandmates, past and present, for his first-ever rock collaborations album, “Sammy Hagar And Friends”. The release will see Hagar joining forces with award-winning artists, including Kid Rock, Nancy Wilson (HEART), Ronnie Dunn (BROOKS & DUNN), Michael Anthony (ex-VAN HALEN, CHICKENFOOT), Neal Schon (JOURNEY), Chad Smith and Joe Satriani (CHICKENFOOT), Bill Church and Denny Carmassi (MONTROSE), THE WABOS and more on an epic collection of 10 new songs and unexpected covers. Produced by Hagar and Grammy-winning engineer/producer John Cuniberti, “Sammy Hagar And Friends” will be released by Frontiers Records on September 24 in North America and September 27 in Europe (September 29 in the U.K.).

From new originals like “Knockdown Dragout” with Kid Rock, “Bad On Fords And Chevrolets” with Ronnie Dunn, “All We Need Is An Island” with Nancy Wilson, “Going Down” with Neal Schon, Michael Anthony and Chad Smith, and “Father Sun”, a duet with his son Aaron Hagar — to reimagined covers of classics like BOB SEGER’s “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man” and DEPECHE MODE’s “Personal Jesus” — Hagar has masterfully assembled an album that delves into rock, country, blues and pop. “Sammy Hagar And Friends” is Hagar’s first solo album since 2008. Full details, including a complete artist list, cover art, track listing and presale information will be announced shortly.

The release of “Sammy Hagar And Friends” will follow on the heels of his “Four Decades of Rock” summer tour which kicks off July 26 in Tucson and wraps September 7 in his hometown of San Francisco. The 14-city tour celebrates Hagar’s arsenal of hits from his career-spanning success as a solo artist, songwriter and frontman for VAN HALEN, MONTROSE and CHICKENFOOT. The tour, which features Hagar and his band, THE WABOS, will also see influential bandmates from his career, including Michael Anthony, Denny Carmassi, Bill Church and more joining him on select dates. Hagar and his lineup of guest stars will take fans on a hit-filled retrospective from the Red Rocker’s prolific career. Fans can also expect some surprise “friends” to join Hagar on stage for a sneak peek of tracks from the new album.

Reminds me of what Brett Michaels just did,
Following his 2010 hit album, Custom Built, Bret Michaels returns in 2013 with a special album featuring collaborations with some of the top artists and players in music including Loretta Lynn, Jimmy Buffett, Edwin McCain, Miley Cyrus, Michael Anthony (Van Halen), Ace Frehley (KISS), Phil Collen (Def Leppard), Gary Rossington, Peter Keys & Rickey Medlocke (Lynyrd Skynyrd), Leslie West (Mountain), Jaret Reddick (Bowling For Soup), Bobby Capps (38 Special), Joe Perry (Aerosmith) C.C. Deville (Poison) and more!! Bret on the album, `It’s really not just a Bret Michaels album. I had so many other talented artists come in and support that it’s really a Bret Michaels & Friends album. There’s a staggering amount of talent on this! It’s been such a fun project for me and I’m excited to share it with the fans.”

Yep, and John Fogerty recently put out an album full of CCR covers with friends. For better or worse, that seems to be the trend right now.

This may be a little off topic, but opening for Sammy on some dates of this tour are Rival Sons, who I recently fell in love with. I mean musically, not sexually. They have a late 60s sound and my guitar-playing friends love talking about the vintage equipment these guys use. Here are a few tunes that are well worth checking out:

I wonder if Knockdown Dragout is the same song he did for the NFL last year?

Don’t know if it is “exactly” the same, but it is very similar to the song released by the NFL in 2011.
