Whitesnake-kitaristi Joel Hoekstra julkaisee toisen levynsä ”Running Games” 13-projektin kanssa helmikuussa 2021. Hoekstran mukana levyllä kuullaan Symphony X –vokalisti Russell Allenia, basisti Tony Franklinia, rumpali Vinnie Appicea sekä kosketinsoittaja Derek Sheriniania. Lisäksi Jeff Scott Soto laulaa taustaosuuksia.
Levyn ensimmäinen single ”Hard To Say Goodbye” on kuunneltavissa alta.
Hoekstra kommentoi:
Years ago, I released three solo albums that were mainly instrumental guitar music. With Joel Hoekstra’s 13, I have started to work on something that showcases my production, writing, and playing in the genre that I’m known for, which is melodic hard rock. ”‘Hard to Say Goodbye’ definitely represents the more melodic sound of the album, but rock fans can also look forward to some aggressive tracks.
’Running Games’ julkaistaan Frontiersin kautta 12.2.2021. Ennakkotilausta saa jätettyä linkistä.
