Surgeland Records, a division of the Serge Entertainment Group LLC, is set to release the Kelly Keeling tribute CD "Tune in to Mind Radio". The CD contains five songs written by Keeling with renditions inspired by musicians who have known Keeling or have been touched by his talent. It also contains a new song written and performed by guitarist Dominic Gaudious inspired by Keeling.
""Tune In To MIND Radio" is a very eclectic CD with everything from power metal to alt rock to classic rock to new age and world music," explains Sandy Serge, Executive Producer. "I basically asked the involved musicians to do whatever they wanted with the songs they chose and they achieved some amazing results."
Surgeland Records is now accepting pre-orders at http://www.kellykeeling.net for the November 20th release. Free shipping is offered for USA orders received prior to November 20th and the first 75 orders will receive a free poster.
The first single released last October is a modernized version of the melodic rock song Perfect Day which formerly appeared on Carmine Appice's Guitar Zeus projects and also on Keeling's solo CD "Giving Sight to the Eye". The song is performed by Carmine Appice & Friends, and introduces musician Anthony Z'sler who arranged, mixed and mastered the tune, played acoustic guitar, and performed lead/background vocals. Legendary drummer icon Carmine Appice, a co-writer of the song, plays drums and percussion along with Tony Franklin (Blue Murder, the Firm, Kenny Wayne Shepherd) on bass. Charlie Gilbert plays lead guitar. The track was written by Keeling, Appice, and Franklin.
Also on board for the project is Marty Paris who played a major part in the Paris Keeling project.
