Former Eagles guitarist Don Felder has released a new song, “Rock You,” from his upcoming album, American Rock ‘n’ Roll, out April 5th.
“Rock You” features guest appearances from Sammy Hagar, Bob Weir, and Joe Satriani.
Felder told Rolling Stone that recording vocals at Sammy’s studio brought in the unexpected guests. “Just as we were finishing, Joe Satriani came walking in,” Felder recalled. “I said ‘Joe, grab a guitar and let’s figure out some guitar parts together.’ Joe and I plugged and sat in the control room and had a blast writing and arranging the guitar parts together. Just as we were finishing the guitars, Bob Weir came strolling down the hall and I asked him to sing on the chorus with us. It just all fell together and was so much fun to work with Sammy, Joe and Bob on this track. It totally rocks!”
American Rock ‘n’ Roll will feature additional contributions from Slash, Mick Fleetwood, the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith, Peter Frampton, and Richie Sambora.
