Classic rock will be well represented in this year's Black Friday Record Store Day releases, which will include special collectible vinyl from Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Joe Satriani and more.
The career of guitar whiz Joe Satriani will be the subject of a new box set. On April 22, Sony/Legacy Recordings will release 'Joe Satriani: The Complete Studio Recordings,' a retrospective spanning his nearly 30 years as a solo artist.
Aside from being one of rock's more distinctive vocalists, Sammy Hagar is a pretty decent guitarist. But for big chunks of his career, he's had the good fortune of not having to lean on his own chops. In fact, he's played with some of the genre's best axemen, including two of rock's greatest living guitarists: Joe Satriani and Eddie Van Halen.
Recording the new Chickenfoot album is on Joe Satriani's calendar. The guitarist has just finished a solo European tour, but he's also been working on new music for the Sammy Hagar-fronted group. 'Chickenfoot III' was released in September 2011.
'Sammy Hagar & Friends' might be the most guest star-studded rock records of the fall, and Hagar has just released the video for 'Knockdown Dragout,' which features Joe Satriani, Denny Carmassi, and Kid Rock.
For more than 40 years, Joe Satriani has let his guitar do the talking, but in April 2014, he'll open up about his creative journey in a new autobiography.
