GRAMMY WINNING PRODUCER / GUITARIST BOB KULICK TO RELEASE 'SKELETONS
IN THE CLOSET' - ENLISTS ALL STAR CAST
Throughout his forty year music career Bob Kulick has worked with an
astonishing array of artists: From Meat Loaf to Motorhead. From KISS
to Michael Bolton. WASP to Diana Ross as well as legends such as
Roger Daltrey, Alice Cooper, Lou Reed and Paul Stanley's first solo
album and tour.
After serving as a sideman and producer for much of his professional
career, Bob Kulick has decided that it was time to release a solo
album - and he brought along a few of his good friends to support
him in the endeavour. Joining Bob on the album are
Lead vocalists - Dee Snider, Robin McAuley, Andrew Freeman, Vick
Wright, Todd Kerns, David Glen Eisley, Dennis St James
Bassists - Rudy Sarzo, Chuck Wright, Bobby Ferrari,
BRUCE KULICK, Dennis St James, Kjell
Benner
Keyboardists - Doug Katsaros, Jimmy Waldo
Drummers - Vinny Appice, Frankie Banali,
ERIC SINGER, Brent Fitz, Scot Coogan,
Chuck Burgi, Bobby Rock, Jay Schellen
With Bob himself providing all of the guitar tracks and co-producing
the album along with Bobby Ferrari at Vegas View Recording in Las
Vegas, NV.
Skeletons in the Closet will be released in late Spring through
Vanity Music Group (distributed via RED / Sony Music).
Half of Skeletons in the Closet is comprised of brand new material
while the other half is comprised of retrospective material from
Bob's albums with
MURDERER'S ROW and
SKULL. "After finishing the five new
songs, the idea of including five of my favorite songs from my past
rounded things out nicely," Bob says. "Brand New songs and then the
'Skeletons In The Closet!'"
The tracklisting for Skeletons in the Closet is as follows:
Player
Not Before You
London
Goldfinger
Rich Man
India (from Murderer's Row)
Skeletons in the Closet (from Murderer's Row)
Guitar Commandos (from Skull - also features a guitar duel with
BRUCE KULICK)
Can't Stop the Rock (Previously unreleased track)
Eyes of a Stranger (from Skull)
His talents have earned Kulick a dozen gold and platinum records,
and aside from writing for the traditional album format, he’s
written and performed songs for Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob Square Pants
(David Glen Eisley's "Sweet
Victory") and the theme song for WWE’s
Superstar Wrestler Triple H, "The Game."
