Comments
Released in July 2006, this is a collection of the various covers that Neal, Randy and Mike have done whilst in the studio recording Neal's solo albums.
This version was the early release verion that was sold on Neal's European tour, so it is a printed CDR rather than a factory pressed disc.
Mike's liner notes state:
It comes down to this: I am a music fan. No matter how old I get or how much success I've had, I will always be that 11 year old kid in the KISS Army jamming along to Who tunes in my bedroom. Because of this, I still LOVE playing covers.
I have been able to tap into my Metal and Prog influences choosing covers with DT, but another HUGE side of my inspiration are my Classic Rock influences from the 60's and 70's. For the most part, the guys in DT don't share this same background so I've never been able to cover these classic bands with them.
However Neal and Randy TOTALLY do share this background, so when choosing covers with them rather than taking the obvious PROG road, we've enjoyed paying tribute to the more retro, pop-oriented side of our shared taste.
Gathered here on this CD is a collection of all of the covers we did together throughout the sessions for Neal's Testimony, One and ? sessions.
Expand your prog ears and enjoy! MP
