"'Never Alone' is a new song that we wrote in the 11th hour of recording the album 'Homage'" explains bassist Brian Wheat. “It started out as a simple guitar riff. I was at my friends Rachael Ray and John Cusimano's house filming an episode for her TV show, I had some time to kill so I went into their studio in the house, picked up John's acoustic guitar and started strumming these chords to kill some time.
"When I listened back to it, it sounded like a Tesla song. I thought maybe it was gonna be a song for one of my other projects, but it sounded like Tesla. So I sent it to Jeff and he said it's definitely Tesla.
"Out of that he came up with the title 'Never Alone,' we worked on it together writing the lyrics, the music, switching the chorus around a little bit and as a result, I think it turned out pretty good. I hope you enjoy it. This is our new song 'Never Alone' because we're never alone."
Due July 17 via Frontiers Music Srl, the project finds Tesla returning to their roots with a collection of covers honoring some of rock's most timeless hits.
The selected songs on “Homage” were chosen for a variety of reasons, primarily representing some of the greatest vocalists of all time, including Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, David Ruffin, Etta James, and James Brown; additional selections reflect songs the band grew up hearing on the radio and on their turntables.
