JOE LYNN TURNER Hard At Work On New Solo Album

Former DEEP PURPLE and RAINBOW singer Joe Lynn Turner is busy writing and recording his new studio album, tentatively due before next summer via Frontiers Records. According to a press release, the direction of new CD will once again follow the melodic hard rock vein that characterized Joe Lynn Turner's last studio effort, "The Usual Suspects".

"The Usual Suspects" was released last year via Frontiers Records. The album was produced by Bob Held and Joe Lynn Turner and features a host of well-known faces such as Al Pitrelli (MEGADETH, SAVATAGE) and Karl Cochran (ACE FREHLEY, NUCLEAR ASSAULT) on guitar, David Z on bass, John O'Reilly on drums, Paul Morris and Andy Burton on keyboards, with Nancy Bender helping out with some background vocals.
