John Sykes - Dawning Of A Brand New Day
Friday releases, courtesy of the coronavirus #60
A first single heralds the return of guitarist John Sykes, known for his work with Tygers of Pan Tang, Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake and Blue Murder.
Sykes released the official video for "Dawning Of A Brand New Day" today. The song is expected to appear on his long-awaited new solo album, tentatively titled "Sy-Ops" and due out later this year. It will be Sykes's first solo studio album in around two decades.
The talented guitarist left Thin Lizzy in 2009, saying he felt it was time to play his own original music.
In 2013, Sykes said he was working on a new solo album. In 2019, he announced a deal with Golden Robot Records and plans to release the album soon. In November 2019, however, he announced the end of his brief relationship with the label.
Although reports suggest the single released today was recorded four years ago, it looks as though this time it is really happening and we may finally get the full album this year.
In an interview last year, Sykes said he was eager to return to the music scene and the stage. He had even begun putting together a band for the album's promotional tour, expected to include his former Blue Murder bandmate, bassist Tony Franklin, and drummer Fred Boswell Jr.
Judging by the sound of the new single, there is plenty to look forward to...
