Billy Morrison is once again striking it out on his own (in a manner of speaking) with a new solo album, “Hollow“. The Billy Idol guitarist will be issuing it through TLG / Zoid / Virgin Music Group later this year. Once again, numerous special guests will be involved with the album’s twelve songs, with the following roster having been assembled:
Marilyn Manson
Dexter Holland (The Offspring)
Chuck D (Public Enemy
B Real (Cypress Hill)
Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses)
Steve Stevens (Billy Idol)
DMC (Run-DMC)
Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme)
Sully Erna (Godsmack)
The latter two musicians will appear on a new single, “Becoming“, which is scheduled to premiere on March 27th. Presumably, Morrison‘s featured collaborations with Cypress Hill‘s B-Real and Run-D.M.C.‘s DMC are these two previously released tracks. Speaking on the creation of this next album, Morrison offered:
“The last album was so much fun and such a creative experience for me that I got the band back together for a follow up record. It’s on the same label (TLG | ZOID | Virgin Music Group), with the same crew (Barry Pointer mixing the record, Dave Donnelly mastering and all art / photography by Jane Stuart) and I’m excited to share this body of work with the world.
The guests on this record are at the core of the collaborative spirit that I try to put in the center of these records. Every single person I worked with stepped up, brought their A game and helped me produce an album that crosses genres, features some really diverse songwriting, and yet has a truly cohesive, and powerful sound. Ultimately, I am just grateful to everyone involved for allowing me to do this again.”
