Koshi and Stevie in Japan

Rock virtuoso Stevie Salas is currently recording his new cover album “Jam Power”. His last cover album “Electronic Pow wow” was released in 1993, in which he covers songs that influenced him as a musician featuring celebrity guest artists, to much critical acclaim. Now, in 2010, he’s teaming up with artists such as Koshi Inaba, Slash, The Crystal Method, Juan Alderete (Mars Volta), Zakk Wylde and many, many more to record his latest cover album “Jam Power”.

In August this year, before heading to the Fuji Rock Festival, Stevie met with Koshi Inaba to record a new track for his album. As always, it was a great experience for him to record with Koshi. They get along very well!

The album is going to be released in Japan on October 20th, 2010 and will be priced at 2500 Yen. A tracklist has not been unveiled yet.

Tomorrow, Inaba’s solo album Hadou will finally be released, and as usual he left a message on B’z official site

After a long time, I’m releasing a solo album, “Hadou”….
Even if it’s still Summer, please keep listening to it in Autumn and Winter.
That’s because most of this work was made during Autumn and Winter.
I hope Hadou’s sounds and words will reach you all…
