CHICKENFOOT new album

CHICKENFOOT Album - "It's The Best Record I've Ever Made"







Rolling Stone's Patrick Doyle reports:


"It's the best record I've ever made," Sammy Hagar says of
Chickenfoot's second album, which they're so pumped about they skipped
right to calling it Chickenfoot III. The supergroup – featuring Hagar,
guitar wizard Joe Satriani, ex-Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony and Red
Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith – started as a tequila-soaked jam
session in Mexico and went on to sell 500,000 copies of its 2009 debut
LP.


The follow-up features the same harmony-drenched hooks and huge
riffs, along with a few surprises: the R&B romp "Come Closer"
experiments with spoken-word poetry on "Three and a Half Letters," and
"Last Temptation" is Black Keys-inspired. Says Hagar, "The Keys are one
of my top 10 groups ever, going back to Cream and Zeppelin."

The much anticipated follow up album to the successful eponymous debut of a rock band packed with successful veterans - guitar hero
JOE SATRIANI, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith, former VAN
HALEN bassist Michael Anthony and frontman Hagar – has garnered a bevy
of buzz and rumors that the band recently set straigh with the official
announcement of the album title, full tracklisting, release date and
more.


Chickenfoot III (not IV as previously implied), produced by Mike
Fraser (AC/DC, METALLICA), is set for worldwide release on September
27th from eOne Music in North America and around the world by
earMUSIC/Edel in a special 3D designed package. The album’s lead single
'Big Foot', is set for release on August 2nd.


“I am very proud of the new album,” says lead singer Hagar. “We're
calling the album Chickenfoot III because it's so good, the songs are so
tight, it's like we jumped right past having to make a second record.”
He adds, “We’ve established a real trust, Joe and I, we truly bring out
the best in one another, and that spreads to the whole band.”





Chickenfoot III features ten tracks with so many moments of epiphany
that one can barely take them all in on first listen. Colossal,
stadium-shaking riffs abound on earth-movers such as 'Alright, Alright',
'Last Temptation', 'Bigfoot', and 'Lighten Up'. Tradition meets
innovation on the Nashville pop-tinged 'Different Devil', the
Delta-blues flavored 'Something Going Wrong' and the aching rock ballad
'Come Closer'. 'Come Closer' marks a dramatic twist in that singer Hagar
wrote the words first and guitarist Joe Satriani composed the music to
suit the lyrics. Elsewhere, Chickenfoot tackles issues such as mortality
in 'Up Next' and the world’s economy in 'Three and a Half Letters' on
hard-as-nails cuts that rock the body while filling one’s senses.
