JIM PETERIK & WORLD STAGE – Tigress – Women Who Rock The World (2021)
The inimitable Jim Peterik is back with his JIM PETERIK & WORLD STAGE and new album titled “Tigress: Women Who Rock The World“. The concept behind “Tigress” is that Jim wanted to showcase women in music whom he admires.
Peterik has always loved a musical challenge and the fresh idea for this album to work with female artists really inspired him. Jimbo made a wish-list of artists he wanted to work with and began crafting songs that could work for their styles.
Of course all in Rock World wants to work with Peterik and the likes of Janet Gardner (ex-Vixen), Cathy Richardson (Jefferson Starship), Jenniffer Batten, Mindi Abair, Kate French, Kimi Hayes, Chez Kane, Rosa Laricchiuta (Black Rose Maze, Trans-Siberian Orchestra), and so many others gave the big thumbs up.
Top class musicians like Mike Aquino (Mecca) or Joel Hoekstra (Night Ranger) are also part of the World Stage Band.
Up-and-comers like Lindsay Kent, Leslie Hunt, Chloe Lowery, Marine Lacoste, and so many others all added their unique personalities to make this a different, landmark album in Jimbo’s career.
“I hope you enjoy ‘Tigress: Women Who Rock The World’ as much as I enjoyed creating it. Much love and Rock & Roll!” concludes Peterik.
Among the best songs / performances there’s Chez Kane in ‘A Capella’ which it isn’t a capella at all but a melodic rocker with all Peterik on it. Ex-Vixen Janet Gardner is also wonderful on midpaced ‘Lazarus Heart’.
Leslie Hunt may be a not so well known name – she fronts the very good melodic prog metal band District 97 – but she delivers great performances on two tracks; ‘Taller’ and ‘Brave Is Beautiful’. Cathy Richardson from Starship also does a very good gob with ‘Sin to Believe a Lie’.
Other singers are less known however not less talented. I love Kate French performing ‘Tigress’, a song with Peterik’s seal from start to finish and one of the best written tunes on the entire disc.
Well produced and sounding homogeneous despite the different vocalists involved, ”Tigress – Women Who Rock The World” is a strong melodic rock album from one of the best songwriters of the genre, and a showcase for some talented female vocalists.
