eOne / Entertainment One Ltd
Ace Frehley has released the official music video for his cover
version of the DEEP PURPLE classic "Space Truckin'". The track,
which was recorded at The Creation Lab in Turlock, California with
drummer Matt Starr and keyboard player Rob Sabino, will appear on
"Origins Vol. 2", the sequel to Ace's 2016 collection of cover songs
that inspired the former KISS guitarist, due on September 18 via
eOne. The animated video was directed by eOne's Ken Gullic and
animated by Chris Fequiere.
"'Space Truckin' was recorded years ago, and then I just re-recorded
some parts and changed it a little," Frehley said in a statement.
"We never ended up putting it on a record, so it was just sitting
around. It turned out very well. Rob Sabino is a very accomplished
studio musician, and we actually grew up in the Bronx together, so
we go way back."
It was previously reported that "Origins Vol. 2" would feature guest
appearances by Lita Ford (on THE ROLLING STONES' "Jumpin' Jack
Flash"), CHEAP TRICK's Robin Zander (on HUMBLE PIE's "30 Days In The
Hole", former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick (on Jimi Hendrix's "Manic

FREHLEY teases cover of DEEP PURPLE's 'Space Truckin'' from 'Origins
Vol. 2' Album From
:
Blabbermouth.net
Ace Frehley has shared a teaser for his cover version of the DEEP
PURPLE classic "Space Truckin'". The track will appear on "Origins
Vol. 2", the sequel to his 2016 collection of cover songs that
inspired the former KISS guitarist, due later in the year via eOne.
Frehley's full version of "Space Truckin'" is expected to make its
online debut on Tuesday, July 28.
It was previously reported that "Origins Vol. 2" would feature guest
appearances by Lita Ford (on THE ROLLING STONES' "Jumpin' Jack
Flash"), CHEAP TRICK's Robin Zander (on HUMBLE PIE's "30 Days In The
Hole", former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick (on Jimi Hendrix's "Manic
Depression") and ROB ZOMBIE's John 5 (on BEATLES' "I'm Down" and
CREAM's "Politician").
Last year, Frehley told The Weekender that "Origins Vol. 2" will
once again feature a LED ZEPPELIN tune, "Good Times Bad Times". He
also revealed that he wanted to lay down the vocals for "30 Days In
The Hole" himself, but that he "just couldn't cut it, vocally,
because [Steve] Marriott's just too good of a goddamn singer. I just
couldn't do justice to his vocals," he explained. "But I remembered
that I had bumped into Robin Zander years ago at a meet-and-greet
and he had mentioned to me that he'd like to sing on one of my
upcoming records, so I remembered that and gave him a call. And he
killed it as well. He sounds like a young Marriott."
Released in April 2016, "Origins
Vol. 1" debuted at No. 23 on The Billboard
200 with first-week sales of 16,000 equivalent album units.
