YORK, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pilato
Entertainment -- Coming off two acclaimed studio albums
(Black Dawn, Tightrope), and an energized historic
live album, Birth Of Cactus, founding member and world
renown drummer Carmine Appice
returns with the ultimate tribute to his legendary rock band.
Temple of Blues- Influences & Friends, merges the
members of Cactus with a super ensemble of guest artists, all of
whom have called the group among their biggest influences.
Once heralded by critics as America's answer to Led Zeppelin,
Cactus recorded four hard rockin' albums for Atco Records before
Appice and bassist Tim Bogert left
to form their own supergroup: Beck, Bogert &
Appice.
"The music of Cactus has always been steeped in blues
tradition," says Appice, who wanted the group to re-visit its best
songs within a modern rock approach to traditional blues. "We kept
hearing from so many of our music celebrity friends how much Cactus
influenced them and how they would love to be a guest on a Cactus
album. Even our label President, Brian
Perera from Cleopatra
Records, suggested to us that this album should happen. So,
Temple Of Blues was the logical next step."
The album is set for release in JUNE
7th 2024 as a CD and double vinyl album.
The first video, a blistering re-make of the classic Cactus track,
"Evil," featuring guests Dee Snider
on vocals, King's X bassist Dug Pinnick on bass, and original
members guitarist Jim McCarty and
Carmine Appice has been released
