Rock Classics Reimagined

This album finds him tackling a diverse set of rock classics, ranging from a fresh take on his own Rainbow hit “Stone Cold” to anthems like AC/DC’s “Back In Black” and Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls.”

The tracklist reads like a who’s who of guitar heroes, featuring blistering performances by Michael Schenker (UFO), Vivian Campbell (Def Leppard, Dio), Phil Collen (Def Leppard), and Reb Beach (Winger, Whitesnake). The sessions also feature contributions from legends like Steve Lukather and Steve Morse, adding technical prowess to these “supercharged” covers.
