Hear Rock and Metal Stars Cover Frank Sinatra Hits
03/29/2011
.
We told that this was coming and the day has arrived. Some of your favorite rock, hard rock and metal stars take on Frank Sinatra classics on the new album, SIN-Atra, which hit stores today.
This all-star project, created from the team that brought you the merry, molten melodies of We Wish You A Metal Xmas, reinvents the classic songs that the great Frank Sinatra performed and, in turn, made famous. These twelve cherished tunes, written by some of the greatest songwriters of all time, are given a radical hard rock/heavy metal treatment, resulting in electrically charged versions of the classics.
Some of the most potent and recognizable voices of rock rework such legendary gems as "I've Got You Under My Skin," "Strangers In The Night," and "That's Life," including Dee Snider, Robin Zander, Glenn Hughes, Joey Belladonna, Geoff Tate, , Tim "Ripper" Owens, Eric Martin, and dUg Pinnick. Producers Bob Kulick, of KISS and Meat Loaf fame, and Brett Chassen, recreated these songs on guitar and drums, respectively, rounded out by Billy Sheehan (bass) and Doug Katsaros (keyboards, orchestration). Also making an appearance as lead guitarist on "That's Life" is renowned rock guitarist Richie Kotzen. AOL is hosting a free listening party for the album that you can check out here Track Listing:
