Legendary Drummer Carmine Appice Unveils Epic New Cactus Album Featuring All-Star Lineup – Prepare to Rock!
Drummer Carmine Appice has exciting news for fans of 70s rock music – a new album from the legendary band Cactus is on the horizon. Titled “Temple of Blues – Influences & Friends,” this album serves as the highly anticipated follow-up to 2021’s “Tightrope.” What makes this release even more special is the incredible lineup of guest artists featured on the album. With names like Joe Bonamassa, Dee Snider, Pat Travers, Warren Haynes, Ted Nugent, and many more, this record promises to be a true masterpiece.
Appice shares his thoughts on the album, stating, “The music of Cactus has always been steeped in blues tradition. We kept hearing from so many of our music celebrity friends how much Cactus influenced them and how they would love to be a guest on a Cactus album. Even our label President, Brian Perera from Cleopatra Records, suggested to us that this album happens. So, Temple Of Blues was the logical next step.”
The album kicks off with a powerful cover of Howlin’ Wolf‘s classic “Evil,” featuring the dynamic duo of Dee Snider and Dug Pinnick. Snider expresses his excitement about this collaboration, calling it a career highlight. With a touch of nostalgia, he reflects on the late Rusty Day, Cactus’s original frontman, who met a tragic end in 1982.
With an impressive tracklist that includes songs like “Parchman Farm,” “Guiltless Glider,” and “Rock N’ Roll Children,” “Temple of Blues – Influences & Friends” promises to deliver a unique blend of blues, rock, and soulful melodies. From iconic rock legends to rising stars, this album showcases the immense talent and creativity of all those involved.
