Ace Frehley – Origins Vol. 1 (April 15, 2016)

Hot on the platform boot heels of his 2014 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Ace Frehley has announced Origins Vol. 1, a collection of 12 newly recorded classic rockers from Ace‘s formative years featuring some of the biggest names in music, on April 15, 2016. Most notably, KISS frontman Paul Stanley joins Ace on Free‘s cult hit “Fire and Water”. This collaboration marks the first time that Ace and Paul appear on the same studio recording since KISS‘ 1998 reunion album Psycho Circus. Other guests are none other than Slash trading leads on Thin Lizzy‘s classic “Emerald”, Lita Ford singing and playing lead on The Troggs #1 smash hit “Wild Thing”, Rob Zombie guitarist John 5 plays guitar alongside Ace as he sings his classic KISS composition “Parasite” for the very first time, as well as Jimi Hendrix‘s “Spanish Castle Magic”. Pearl Jam‘s Mike McCready also plays guitar with Ace as he finally sings his KISS Alive! mainstay “Cold Gin”. Ace‘s cover of Cream‘s “White Room” is also an instant gratification track and saw its premier by Rolling Stone early in February 2016. (from Amazon)
