When Slash calls, people pick up the phone. Fourteen years after his all-star self-titled solo debut album, which featured appearances from Ozzy Osbourne, Chris Cornell, Lemmy and future bandmate Myles Kennedy among others, the guitarist has hit the contact book hard once more.
For his upcoming album, the vividly titled Orgy Of The Damned, Slash has enlisted a whole new set of guest vocalists. The twist this time is that it’s a blues covers album, featuring everyone from AC/DC’s Brian Johnson, ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons and Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes to Gary Clark Jr, Iggy Pop and Demi Lovato covering songs by such greats as Robert Johnson, Howlin’ Wolf, Albert King, Wille Dixon and Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac.
