Slash announces blues album featuring Billy Gibbons, Paul Rodgers, Iggy Pop and more

From Loudersound.

Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash has announced details of his upcoming sixth solo album. Orgy Of The Damned will be released on May 16 via Gibson Records and will feature a stellar lineup of guest musicians performing several blues classics alongside one new original song.

The first single from the album is a version of Howlin’ Wolf‘s 1964 classic Killing Floor – the inspiration for Led Zeppelin‘s The Lemon Song – which sees AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson take the lead vocal while Aerosmith‘s Steven Tyler plays harmonica.

“When Slash asked me to sing on Killing Floor, I said yes immediately,” says Johnson. “It was one of the first songs I learned in my very first band, and when he played me the backing track it was a no-brainer, and Steven’s harmonica is so bloody hot. I had a ball with Slash in the studio, and I think we did this great old song justice. Rock on.”
Other guests on the album include Chris Stapleton, Beth Hart, Iggy Pop, Paul Rodgers, Gary Clark Jr, Billy F. Gibbons, Chris Robinson, Demi Lovato and Dorothy, while the band is completed by bassist Johnny Griparic, keyboardist Teddy Andreadis,  drummer Michael Jerome and singer/guitarist Tash Neal. Full tracklist below. Slash’s European tour with Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators begins later this month (full dates below).
