DOOGIE WHITE Says Recordings For New YNGWIE MALMSTEEN Album Have Not Yet Begun

September 22, 2007

According to a posting on The Rainbow Fanclan Legacy web site, singer Doogie White (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, CORNERSTONE, ex-RAINBOW) has issued the following update on his recent and upcoming activities:

"I am really really happy and excited by the new EMPIRE album [Doogie makes an appearance on the fourth album from EMPIRE, 'Chasing Shadows'; the band is led by German guitarist Rolf Munkes (MAJESTY, RAZORBACK, VANIZE)]. I think the songs are very strong and personally I felt very creative during the writing. It could be my best vocal performance to date. Certainly the recording process was relaxed in a rawkin' kinda way. I think that it's possible that we can take it on the road. It's a lean mean machine and I would love to play these songs in the live arena."

Doogie went to Florida in July to meet up with Yngwie Malmsteen with regards to taking part in the recording sessions for the Swedish guitarist's next studio album. White says, "I have not even started the recording with Yngwie. He is working on the music production and lyrics at the moment. We have agreed in principle that I will sing it and we are both enthusiastic about doing a third album together."

Regarding his plans for a new solo album, Doogie says, "The drums are being recorded at the moment. All the songs are written and I just have to wait and see what the availability of the various players. The demos sound great and I hope that I can get a band together to do some shows in the UK and then further afield later on. There is no rush to secure a deal or anything as I am financing it out of my own pocket. So once it is all in place I will see if anyone is interested."

Doogie ends with: "I'll be meeting up with Joey (Lynn Turner) and Greg (Smith) in Madrid on Wednesday for a beer and a laugh. Have not seen them for a few years and we have a loot of breeze to shoot."
