| New York,
NY- An assemblage of guitar legends have lent their
talent to the release of Sing A Song With Six
Strings on September 28, 2004,
a collection of 13 songs by guitar-heroes inspired by
children, fatherhood and family.
Executive produced by Eddie Kramer
(producer for Jimi Hendrix/Kiss), the album features
an eclectic mix of artists and draws from rock, blues,
adult contemporary and country music. With combined
artist achievements totaling 119 Platinum albums and
40 Grammy Awards, rarely has a roster of such diversity
and talent graced an album of this substance, while
showing artists from a perspective seldom seen by their
usual fans.
Sing A Song With Six Strings includes
six never before released songs that were written and/or
recorded specifically for this collection by Slash,
Kyle Cook, Marc Ford, Vernon Reid, Craig Ross and Dean
DeLeo. Additional tracks include Carl Perkins’
“All Mama’s Children,” Keb’
Mo’s “Grandma’s Hands” and Santana’s
classic “Let The Children Play,” off of
his Festival album.
Slash elaborates on his track “Sing
A Song Of Sixpence,” "I did it in the style
I felt most comfortable... rock n’ roll. When
it was finished, I played it for my then 1 year old
son London and I got smiles of approval. I figured it
must have hit the mark!"
Other stand out cuts on the album are Peter Frampton’s
ode to his daughter “Mia Rose,” Kyle Cook’s
“Always This Near” (who shares the album
cover with his daughter) and the infamous Stevie Ray
Vaughan & Double Trouble recording of “Mary
Had A Little Lamb.”
"Ultimately, I think we created a unique collection
of music that showcases another dimension of these artists,"
says Kramer. In the end, he hopes Sing A Song
With Six Strings, will not only bring parents
and their children closer through music, but will offer
listeners a fresh insight into the personal side of
these legendary guitarists.
Sing A Song... is a great way to for
the entire family to enjoy music together in a multitude
of genres. Sing A Song With Six Strings
will be available on September 28, 2004
from Sony Wonder, the family division of Sony Music
Entertainment.
