The Rolling Stones expand No Filter US tour

The Rolling Stones have expanded their 2019 No Filter tour of the US with the addition of second shows in East Rutherford, NJ and Chicago, IL.

A June 17 date at New Jersey’s Met Life Stadium will follow a previously-announced June 13 appearance at the venue, with a June 25 stop at Soldier Field in Chicago now confirmed beyond the original June 21 concert in the city.

The Stones will open the 15-date series at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL on April 20.

Tickets for all shows on the US tour are now on sale via the usual outlets.

“It’s a thrill when we play stadiums in the States,” says Mick Jagger, “the energy is always amazing!”

“I’ve always loved playing the States,” adds Keith Richards. “It’s a great crowd.”

The Rolling Stones last performed in the US in the fall of 2016, when they appeared at both weekends of the Desert Trip festival and an arena show in Las Vegas, NV.

The band’s last full tour of the continent took place in 2015 on the Zip Code trek, when they played 17 stadium shows that earned box office revenue of almost $110 million dollars.

VIDEO: Pink Floyd stream 1967 live performance of Interstellar Overdrive

Pink Floyd are streaming video of a live performance of their classic instrumental, “Interstellar Overdrive”, from a 1967 concert at London’s famed Roundhouse.

Written as an improvised track by all four members of the group, the song appeared on their 1967 debut, “The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.”

The Roundhouse was one of a number of venues on a London underground music scene that embraced Pink Floyd in their formative years, as the band enhanced their live appearances with slide shows, visual and sound effects, and audio presentation via quadraphonic speaker systems.

While “Interstellar Overdrive” often opened the group’s shows in the mid-to-late 1960s, it disappeared from the lineup for concerts after 1971.

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason will perform a pair of shows at the Roundhouse on a spring 2019 UK tour.

Along with his band, Saucerful Of Secrets, Mason will deliver a spring series of five dates that will begin in Cardiff next April and end with two nights at The Roundhouse in London in early May.

Ahead of the UK series, Mason and company will be seen across North America on a five-week trek that will begin in Vancouver, BC on March 12.

Aerosmith: Joe Perry shares Thanksgiving photos while recovering from recent collapse

Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry is sharing some photos from Thanksgiving as he continues to recover at home following a recent collapse backstage at a Billy Joel show in New York that saw him hospitalized for almost a week.

“Had a great Thanksgiving weekend with Billie, Annie, Roman, Tony, Austin, Sarah, Amanda and cooked by Aaron,” writes Perry alongside a series of pictures from the fall US holiday.

The rocker collapsed backstage and was treated by paramedics before being rushed to hospital minutes after performing “Walk This Way” with Joel at Madison Square Garden on November 10.

Following his release from hospital, Perry cancelled his planned fall US tour on doctor’s orders.

“While doctors have released Perry from care,” read a press release, “the Aerosmith guitarist will now take the rest of the year off. Perry again would like to apologize to the fans who were planning on coming to the shows and looks forward to seeing them again in 2019.”

The 10-date fall trek in support of his latest solo record, “Sweetzerland Manifesto” – which was scheduled to open in Sioux City, IA on November 30 – was to see Perry joined a lineup that included his Aerosmith bandmate Brad Whitford and Extreme singer Gary Cherone.

Neil Young streams The Losing End from archival Songs For Judy live album

Neil Young is streaming audio of a live acoustic performance of “The Losing End” from the new archival package, “Songs For Judy.”

Available November 30, the project features a collection of performances from various stops on Young’s November 1976 tour, presenting a mix of classic tracks alongside new material and the debut release of the rarity “No One Seems To Know.”

As Rolling Stone notes, “The Losing End” from 1969’’s “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere” was recorded during the second of two shows in a single evening at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, GA on November 24, 1976, just 24 hours before Young jammed with The Band at “The Last Waltz” event in San Francisco, CA.

Tour photographer Joel Bernstein recorded the shows on cassette tape with the original intention of creating his own archives of the trek, which he and Rolling Stone writer Cameron Crowe did back in the day and were tasked with putting together the 2018 package.

"The shows were reckless and beautiful," explains Crowe, who was on the road with the Canadian rocker at the time. "The evenings began with an hour-long acoustic solo set from Neil. The acoustic portion of the evening morphed nightly, often fueled by a smoke or two just behind the curtain. After a break, Neil and Crazy Horse would return for a barn-burner of an electric set designed to level the place. They succeeded nightly."

“Songs For Judy” will be initially be available via CD and digital, with a vinyl edition to follow on December 14.

Eric Clapton premieres For Love On Christmas Day video from Happy Xmas collection

Eric Clapton is premiering a video for his new original holiday song, “For Love On Christmas Day”, from his recently-released collection, “Happy Xmas.”

Featured alongside a mix of seasonal standards and lesser known holiday tunes, the project marks the guitarist’s first full-length Christmas album, which he co-produced with Simon Climie and features one of his own illustrations of Santa Claus on the record’s cover.

As for the traditional seasonal numbers, Clapton says "I had in my head that these holiday songs could be done with a slight blues tinge, and I started to figure out how to play the blues lines in between the vocals. I got it down and one of the most identifiable songs on the album, the one that became the foundational style, is ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.’”

“Happy Xmas” recently debuted at No. 1 on the US Holiday Album chart, which is published weekly from mid-October through early January each year.

Clapton will next be seen live during a series of three shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall next May that will mark the iconic guitarist’s only UK performances in 2019, which will be followed by a series of European concerts in June.

The Rolling Stones: Keith Richards previews No Filter US tour

Keith Richards is previewing The Rolling Stones’ No Filter US tour this week in sync with tickets going on sale for the spring 2019 stadium series.

Following a pair of legs across Europe in the fall of 2017 and spring of last year, the band will begin a 13-date US trek at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL on April 20.

The European performances saw the Stones deliver their usual set of classics while throwing in some rarities along the way, but Richards says fans can expect a different show when it hits the States.

“Yeah. Different orders,” the guitarist tells Rolling Stone. “We’ll try different things out. Mick sometimes has different ideas about staging for a certain number and you’ve got to figure things out. But basically just when we get the band into top form and top gear flight by April.”

While Richards admits that he didn’t get all of his wish list of songs into the 2017-18 shows, he is still hoping to get at least one rarity included in the spring 2019 run.

“I was already throwing in the last time but it didn’t get to the show, but it was ‘Cry To Me’ the old Solomon Burke thing we did,” says the rocker about the tune they covered on 1965’s “Out Of Our Heads.” “So I want to try that one on for size. See how it goes.”

Asked what keep him going, the guitarist – who will turn 75 next month – declares the stage as his real home turf.

“It’s a living,” laughs Richards. “Um, it’s what I do, man. Give me 50,000 people and I feel right at home. The whole band does. As Ronnie and I often say before we go on, ‘Let’s get onstage and get some peace and quiet.’”

General public tickets for the 2019 No Filter US tour will go sale starting Friday, November 30 at 10am local time via the usual outlets.

VIDEO: Guns N’ Roses perform classics over two shows in Hong Kong

Guns N’ Roses live-streamed a series of performances of their classic tracks via social media during two shows in Hong Kong last week.

Among the songs delivered live from the band’s November 20 and 21 dates at the city’s Asia World-Expo Arena were a pair from 1987’s “Appetite For Destruction” – “Welcome To The Jungle” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine” – as well as their 1991 cover of the Paul McCartney and Wings hit “Live And Let Die.”

“Thank you Hong Kong for two amazing nights!”, posted the group after the concerts.

The dates marked some of the final 2018 shows of the reunited band’s Not In This Lifetime tour, which was launched with a rare club show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles on April 1, 2016; now in its third year, the trek has been seen by over 5 million fans and is among the top five biggest-selling concert tours in music history with ticket sales of more than $500 million.

Despite the tour’s success, Axl Rose says there are still new places for Guns N’ Roses to play.

“We’ve toured the world a few times over, but there are always places where we still haven’t performed,” Rose tells The Atlas in Abu Dhabi. “We played Iceland for the first time this year and we’re playing Hawaii for the first time this December – there are always places left to go.”

As for what keeps him and the band going, Axl adds, “We all want to do the best we can for the fans – they come wanting a big performance and that is what we want to give them. We all push each other to go further in terms of our performance and commitment. It doesn’t matter how many performances you do, every crowd is different and you feed off that.”

Guns N’ Roses will wrap up their 2018 schedule in Honolulu, HI on December 8.

VIDEO: ZZ Top guitarist joins William Shatner for Christmas classic

ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons is featured in a new video for William Shatner’s take on the seasonal classic, “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer.”

The track is featured on the actor’s first-ever holiday album, “Shatner Claus”, which presents a collection of Christmas songs.

Gibbons tells ABC Radio that he had fun collaborating with Shatner, noting, "He does what he does, and he let me do what I do. And it was a happy accident, [a] collision made happy."

As for what Shatner thought about his contribution to the track, Billy says, "He was rather impressed with the fact that we threw some Texas mud into 'Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer.' This happy little thing, all of a sudden it's four flat tires on a muddy road."

Shatner is joined by an eclectic cast of guests on the project, which includes duets and appearances by Todd Rundgren, Rick Wakeman of Yes, Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson, Iggy Pop and Cars guitarist Elliot Easton, among others.

Gibbons and ZZ Top will return to live action with a Las Vegas residency at The Venetian in January before hitting the road for a 50th Anniversary UK and European tour in June.

Among the first dates released are appearances at the Prague Rocks festival in the Czech Republic on June 19, Spain’s Barcelona Rock Fest on July 5 and London’s SSE Arena Wembley on July 12, with many more shows to be revealed soon.

Green Day tribute featured on NASA InSight Mars Lander

A Green Day tribute is among more than 2.4 million names featured on NASA’s InSight Mars Lander, which arrived on the red planet on November 26.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports a microchip on the NASA vehicle bears the East Bay punk band’s name and date of origin.

“Officially landed on Mars,” tweeted the band. “‘Green Day Since 1986’ was etched on a chip on the NASA InSight lander that landed at Elysium Planitia today. Out of this world.”

Acording to NASA, their Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA invited members of the public to send their names to Mars; the offer proved so popular that more than 2.4 million names were etched onto two microchips carried to Mars.

In addition to Green Day, others included in the microchip series were names of children in elementary school classes, NASA's Associate Administrator Thomas Zurbuchen, and Star Trek actor William Shatner.

InSight will be the first mission to look deep beneath the Martian surface, studying the planet's interior by listening for marsquakes; these quakes travel through geologic material at different speeds and give scientists a glimpse of the composition and structure of the planet's inside. The insights into how Mars formed will help science better understand how other rocky planets are created.

The two-year mission for the NASA InSight Mars Lander – which landed on Mars after a "perilous journey" on Monday – marks the first landing there in six years, after the Curiosity Rover arrived on the planet in 2012.

Green Day’s 2017 documentary, “Turn It Around: The Story Of East Bay Punk”, was recently made available via iTunes following the film and its companion soundtrack’s release in June.

Directed by Corbett Redford, narrated by Iggy Pop and executive produced by Green Day, the film spans more than 30 years of the California Bay Area’s punk music history at the music collective 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, CA, where they got their start in the 1980s.at a club that helped launch the careers of The Offspring, Rancid, and Operation Ivy, among others.

The Kinks: Dave Davies debuts Web Of Time video from Decade collection

Dave Davies of The Kinks is debuting a video for the track “Web Of Time” from his recently-released collection, “Decade.”

"Web of Time is a previously-unreleased song I wrote and recorded in the mid-1970s, which has been embellished for the Decade album," says Davies. "It's about my feelings and reflections about where we stand as people and what we are doing to each other, why we do the things we do. Questioning life - is it just chaos or is there more to it? I think it's poignant for these times."

First previewed with the lead track, “Cradle To The Grave”, “Decade” presents a series of unreleased tunes from the 1970s, which remained on the shelf as brother Ray Davies used his songs to focus The Kinks’ efforts on a series of concept albums.

In the years prior to the issue of his first “proper” solo album, 1980’s “AFL1-3603”, Davies was working on the tracks that now make up “Decade.” The tapes were unearthed by his sons Simon and Martin from “under beds, in attics, in storage,” and properly mixed and mastered to bring them to full fruition.

The period 1973 to 1975 saw Dave take a major technical role as The Kinks moved into their own recording studio, Konk.

“I’m always really into the sound, and the mixes, and gadgets…” he explains. “I was able to go in, and make what I thought were demos – these recordings.”

Davies expects to perform some of the tracks from “Decade” on a rare two-week series of US dates next April.

Buckcherry premiere video for cover of Nine Inch Nails classic Head Like A Hole

Buckcherry are premiering a video for their cover of the 1989 Nine Inch Nails classic, “Head Like A Hole”, as the first preview to their newly-announced forthcoming album, “Warpaint.”

Directed by Jeremy Saffer, the clip for the project’s lead single was filmed in Los Angeles while the recording of the tune "happened really organically,” according to singer Josh Todd.

“We were in the studio making the record, just kind of going through some old songs while they were setting up,” the rocker tells Billboard. “We jammed it out the first time and it was like, boom, automatically sounded right as if we'd written it, which is what we always want to achieve when we do a cover.

"Our producer Mike Plotnikoff was recording the whole time and said, 'Hey, why don't you guys come in and hear this?' He put up a little rough mix of it and we were like, 'Wow, this sounds really good. We should do it.'"

Due March 8, the group’s eight studio set delivers 11 new Buckcherry songs alongside the Nine Inch Nails cover.

“Good things come to those who wait,” adds Todd, “and we have been very patient and thorough with the songwriting for Warpaint. We took into consideration all the factors and what this record means – to not only us but the great Buckcherry fans around the world. This record takes the listener on an unforgettable journey and I’m very proud of it.”

Buckcherry plans extensive worldwide performances throughout 2019, beginning with four Southern California shows in January followed by a month-long series of UK and European dates in February and the first leg of a North American run set to open in March.

Guns N’ Roses: Axl Rose thanks fans for support following Abu Dhabi concert illness

Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose is thanking fans and his bandmates for the support following an illness that forced the rocker to perform an abbreviated show at the band’s November 25 concert in the United Arab Emirates.

"They've got me on IVs and a bunch of injections, 'cause I got sick today, I've been throwing up for about the last five hours,” Rose told the crowd during the band’s performance at the Formula 1 2018 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. “So, instead of canceling, I'm gonna do the best show we can for you."

Rose managed to perform more than half of the group’s regular 28-song set before shutting things down after playing their 1991 classic, “November Rain.”

“Wanna thank All the fans, the band n’ every one for their concern n’ well wishes!,” posted Rose on social media ahead of the group’s show in South Africa on November 29. “In Johannesburg w/plenty of time to be ready for the show! This flu or whatever is a wild ride! Comes in waves. You’re ok till you’re not!

“Felt lame explainin’ myself earlier on at the gig but really didn’t know how things would play out and we really wanted to do our best for the fans. Was a great crowd, awesome venue, cool stage (w/a gentle breeze in the desert!). Thanks again and hope anyone’s not too disappointed, and we look forward to seeing everyone again in the UAE!!”

Rose received huge praise for his resilience and effort to get through the Abu Dhabi show from his bandmates, including bassist Duff McKagan, who tweeted: “@axlrose pulled a damn miracle…the man was beyond ill, and pulled off something I've never seen in my 40 yrs of playing. You all pulled him thru.”

Guns N’ Roses will wrap up their 2018 live schedule in Honolulu, HI on December 8.

The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger previews No Filter US tour

Mick Jagger is sharing his thoughts on The Rolling Stones’ No Filter US tour in a new interview ahead of tickets going on sale this week for the spring 2019 stadium trek.

The 13-show series (see dates below) will begin at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL on April 20 and hit eleven more cities before wrapping up at Soldier Field in Chicago, IL on June 21.

Asked what fans can expect from the upcoming shows, Jagger tells Billboard: “A good night out! A good night out for all. We did a kind of similar tour in Europe this summer, so it’s got a lot of fun. ...It’s pretty high energy and it’s a good a show, I think. I’m into it.”

The rock icon explains the difference between performing in the US compared to other territories.

“Well, I don’t have to speak foreign languages normally, so that’s a big difference,” says Jagger. “When you tour Europe it’s a lot of languages, so I try to do them all and that takes up some time, so (in the U.S.) I can concentrate on some other things.

“There’s lots of regional differences, say between Houston and New York, so you’ve got to tune yourself to that a little bit. It’s slightly about adjusting your set and attitude. It’s different. It’s nice that it’s different, you don’t want it to be completely homogenous. But it’s great to be going around so many different areas, different states and so on.”

“Basically your life’s attuned to doing those few hours onstage and everything else is a build up to that,” he continues. “Of course, you get to enjoy yourself at other times, but really you’re thinking about the next show or the show you’re doing that night. A lot of prep time goes into that – keeping yourself (together) so you can get through the whole thing without screwing up physically and mentally and keeping yourself really sharp. But I really enjoy it.”

At 75 years of age, Jagger says he still loves touring.

“When you go out in front of all those people you get an enormous rush of chemicals in your body – your own chemicals, not chemicals you’ve put in,” he says, laughing. “Let’s face it, it is a huge buzz. Must be like playing football or something.”

A special No Filter fan presale will begin on Wednesday, November 28 at 10am local time via rollingstones.com, with general public tickets available starting Friday, November 30 at 10am local time.

The 2018 edition of the annual concert in Viveiro, Lugo also saw sets by KISS, Megadeth, Ghost and Tremonti, among others.

Resurrection Fest 2019 will take place from July 3-6 and will feature appearances by Slipknot, Slayer, Lamb Of God and more – full details are available at resurrectionfest.es

The Scorpions just completed their 2018 live schedule with a pair of shows in China last week.

The band made headlines recently when they were forced to cancel a November 10 slot supporting Def Leppard in Sydney, Australia after singer Klaus Meine dealt with some vocal issues.

“Even though my voice was under the weather in Melbourne and Sydney,” says Meine, “this tour in Australia and New Zealand was a wonderful experience, and I hope we come back soon especially to Melbourne and Sydney to make up for it.”

The Scorpions will return to live action when they appear at the Choctaw Casino in Durant, OK on January 26.

Metallica to release acoustic live album on vinyl for charity

Metallica will release a limited-edition, vinyl version of their recent acoustic performance at the inaugural All Within My Hands Foundation Helping Hands Benefit Concert on February 1.

The November 3 event at The Masonic in San Francisco, CA celebrated the first full year of the band’s All Within My Hands Foundation, which was launched in 2017 to help create sustainable communities by tackling the issues of hunger and workforce education and encouraging volunteerism.

The benefit concert raised more than $1.3 million for the non-profit organization, who will use the funds to work with their partners at Feeding America and the American Association of Community Colleges.

“Helping Hands…Live & Acoustic At The Masonic” captures Metallica’s acoustic set of classic tracks and cover of tunes by Deep Purple, Nazareth, Bob Seger and Blue Oyster Cult.

The limited edition, 2LP 140g colored vinyl release will see all proceeds donated to All Within My Hands.

Audio of Metallica’s performance is currently available via CD and digital download via livemetallica.com.

The group’s foundation recently donated $100,000 toward wildfire relief efforts in their home state of California.

VIDEO: Bruce Springsteen previews Netflix special Springsteen On Broadway

Bruce Springsteen is sharing a video preview of the upcoming Netflix concert special “Springsteen On Broadway” ahead of its premiere next month.

The one-man show – which sees the New Jersey rocker deliver a stripped-down, solo performance while sharing details behind some of his legendary material – will launch globally on December 16 at 12:01 AM PT / 3:01 AM ET.in sync with the closing night of its sold-out 236 night run at New York’s intimate Walter Kerr Theatre.

The concert film is directed and produced by Thom Zimny ("Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Live in New York City (2001)"), and produced by the singer’s manager Jon Landau, Springsteen tour director George Travis, and Landau Management partner Barbara Carr.

“The purpose of the film is to bring this incredibly intimate show to Bruce’s entire audience intact and complete,” explains Landau. “In addition to its many other virtues, Netflix has provided for a simultaneous worldwide release which is particularly important for our massive international audience. Ted Sarandos and the entire company’s support has been a perfect match for Bruce’s personal commitment to the filmed version of 'Springsteen on Broadway.'”

“We are thrilled to bring Bruce Springsteen - a master storyteller, humanitarian and voice of the everyman - to Netflix in this historic one man show,” adds Chief Content Officer Sarandos. “This groundbreaking experience defies the boundaries of theater, concerts and film and will give our global audience an intimate look at one of the biggest cultural icons of our time.”

A companion soundtrack album to the film will be released on December 14.

Earlier this year, Springsteen received a special Tony Award for “Springsteen On Broadway”, at the 72nd annual edition of the event in New York City.

Fleetwood Mac 50th anniversary collection debuts on UK charts

Fleetwood Mac’s 50th anniversary collection, “50 Years – Don’t Stop”, has debuted on the UK charts.

The Official Charts Company reports the band’s first-ever career-spanning set enters the UK charts at No. 15.

The new compilation touches on every era in the group's history while highlighting the work of the many musicians who have recorded under the Fleetwood Mac banner over the years since Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood and Jeremy Spencer first formed the outfit in London, UK in 1967.

Marking 50 years since the release of the band’s 1968 self-titled debut album, “50 Years – Don’t Stop” delivers 50 tracks across 3-CD and 5-LP packages, and is accompanied by a 20-track single CD version, with both available on digital download and streaming services.

Fleetwood Mac are currently playing dates on a recently-expanded North American tour that sees the addition of guitarist Mike Campbell of Tom Petty’s band and Neil Finn of Crowded House/Split Enz fame in place of longtime member Lindsey Buckingham following his firing earlier this year.

VIDEO: Robert Plant performs Elvis Presley covers at ex-wife’s birthday party

Robert Plant performed a series of Elvis Presley covers at a 70th birthday party celebration for his ex-wife, Maureen, on November 23 and video from the event has surfaced online.

The rocker joined local band The Hayriders at The Fox Inn in Stourton, UK for three Presley classics, including "One Night With You", "Little Sister" and "A Big Hunk O’ Love."

Plant married Maureen just prior to Led Zeppelin’s official London debut at The Roundhouse on November 9, 1968; the couple had a daughter and two sons.

In August of 1975, most of the family were involved in a car accident on the Greek island of Rhodes, with the band forced to cancel tour dates in support of “Physical Graffiti” while the singer recovered.

The extended downtime saw Led Zeppelin work on their 1976 release, “Presence”, with Plant recording vocals for the project in a wheelchair.

While Led Zeppelin were on a North American tour in 1977, Robert received news that their five-year-old son Karac had died suddenly from a stomach virus; the band shut down the trek as the singer returned home to the UK.

Led Zeppelin recorded “All My Love” for 1979’s “In Through The Out Door”, as a tribute to Plant’s late son.

Robert and Maureen divorced in 1983, with the singer going on to have a relationship and son with Maureen's sister, Shirley Wilson, in 1991.

Plant recently completed a world tour in support of his latest record, “Carry Fire”, while Led Zeppelin launched their 50th anniversary celebrations in September.

Lenny Kravitz premieres Johnny Cash video

photo: Mark Seliger

Lenny Kravitz is premiering a video for “Johnny Cash”, a track from his latest album “Raise Vibration.”

Directed by Mathieu Bitton, the clip presents footage of the rocker in the studio on his own and directing a string section on the song inspired by his own personal experience with the music icon.

According to the BBC, Kravitz had rushed to Los Angeles in December of 1995 after learning his mother, actress Roxie Roker, was losing her battle with breast cancer and he had arranged to stay at Rick Rubin's home, where the producer was working with Cash on the album “American Recordings II: Unchained.”

Kravitz went to straight to the hospital to be by his mother’s side upon landing in the city, and was at Rubin’s home when he received a call that she had passed when he ran into Cash and his wife June.

"I was a bit fazed and out of it,” explains Kravitz, “and the two of them just came up to me and surrounded me and held me. The two of them. We weren't lifelong friends. I didn't know them that long. We were flatmates. But they decided at that moment (to) treat me like they would treat someone in their family. It was a beautiful moment of humanity and love."

More than twenty years later, the memory of the scene returned to the singer while he was in the studio working on new music.

"I heard the melody, I heard the music, but I did not understand why I was getting the words Johnny Cash," he says. "It obviously is something that impacted me and has been sitting within my spirit. They were beautiful, real people - and I guess that might have been the last time that I was consoled in that way."

Produced and recorded by Kravitz at his Bahamas studio, “Raise Vibration” recently debuted at No. 43 on the US Billboard 200.
