DEREK SHERINIAN – The Phoenix (2020)

Sons Of Apollo and Black Country Communion keyboardist DEREK SHERINIAN will release ‘The Phoenix‘, his first solo album since the excllent 2011’s ‘Oceana’.
“The Phoenix” once again finds Derek working alongside collaborator and mentor, terrific drummer Simon Phillips. Also appearing on the album are a dream team consisting of Joe Bonamassa, Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde, Kiko Loureiro, Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal, Billy Sheehan, Tony Franklin and Jimmy Johnson.
True to their vision, Derek and Simon achieved what is seemingly impossible for an album with so many guests: a unified sound and a clear direction. Perhaps inadvertently, they created THE guitar album of 2020, even though keyboards and drums are the main driving force throughout the compositions.
