WATCH: Alter Bridge’s Myles Kennedy premieres ‘Year of the Tiger’ video
Alter Bridge singer Myles Kennedy has shared the video for the title track to his debut solo album ‘Year of the Tiger’.
Released on Friday 9th March 2018 via Napalm Records and helmed by long-term Alter Bridge producer Michael ‘Elvis’ Baskette, ‘Year of the Tiger’ is a 12-track concept album that’s inspired by the loss of Myles’ father when he was a young child.
The record sees Myles delve into new musical realms, embracing blues, Americana, country and acoustic sounds and even features influences he hasn’t used in his career so far including the use of lap and steel guitars, mandolin and banjo.
“This record is something I’ve always wanted to make,” says Myles in a statement. ”I’m grateful to Napalm for believing in me enough to get behind it.”
The opening song on the record, the title track showcases these new musical influences and comes complete with a deeply personal and nostalgic video that melds footage of Myles today and as a child with his late father.
