Op-Ed: Myles Kennedy has the most anticipated solo album of 2018

Published

January 9, 2018

This record shows Myles’ wide range and diversity as a recording artist. The music video of “Year of the Tiger” garnered a rave review from Digital Journal, and rightfully so, which described it as “incredible.”

Myles is known for his musical work with acclaimed rock group Alter Bridge, and Slash and the Conspirators. Myles’ vocal range spans 3.5 to four octaves.

Year of the Tiger marks Myles’ debut solo album. Most impressive is that his album was inspired by the death of his father when he was young, which ironically enough, took place in 1974, which fell on the “Year of the Tiger.” Aside from influences in rock, the CD contains elements of Americana, folk, rock, country and blues. Myles plays such musical instruments as guitar, mandolin, bass, lap steel guitar and even banjo.

Year of the Tiger is expected to be released on March 9, 2018, via Napalm Records.
