JOE LYNN TURNER Featured On HOWARD LEESE CD
September 4, 2006Legendary hard rock vocalist Joe Lynn Turner (RAINBOW, DEEP PURPLE, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) is featured on two songs on the forthcoming solo album from Howard Leese (HEART, PAUL RODGERS).
Leese is recording the CD for Stuart Smith and Richie Onori's Black Star Records label. Smith describes "Hot to Cold" as a "smoking duet" with Deanna Johnston of the highly-publicized TV show "Rock Star: INXS". Leese said, "I feel 'Alive Again' is one of the best vocal performances I've heard in years from [Joe Lynn Turner] and was amazed at how well Deanna and Joe's voices blended together." The Johnston-penned duet is being eyed as a potential single.
Joe Lynn Turner recently spent time working on helping to put together the "supergroup" BIG NOIZE. With the line-up now shored up, BIG NOIZE is expected to travel to Nashville shortly to film a DVD. The band includes:
Joe Lynn Turner (RAINBOW, DEEP PURPLE, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) - Vocals
Carlos Cavazo (QUIET RIOT) - Guitar
Vinny Appice (DIO, BLACK SABBATH) - Drums
Phil Soussan (OZZY OSBOURNE, BILLY IDOL) - Bass
Gary Corbett (CINDERELLA, LOU GRAMM) - Keyboards
Current plans focus on marketing the DVD to the corporate concert industry but a commercial release in the future has not been ruled out. The repertoire will feature well-known songs from each artist's catalog.
