Smith/Kotzen - Taking My Chances
Friday releases, courtesy of the coronavirus #58
A new single from the new Smith/Kotzen project, a collaboration between Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith and guitarist Richie Kotzen, known for his work with Poison, Mr. Big and The Winery Dogs.
The two recorded the song in the West Indies earlier this year and promise it is only the first taste, with more music to come.
Hints of a collaboration began emerging back in February. Kotzen even said he did not like talking about things until they were finished, making it clear that the two were working on something together. Smith, for his part, said that he and Kotzen complement each other, describing Kotzen as a virtuoso with plenty of melody.
With the single's release, Kotzen said that he and Smith both come from blues-rock and classic-rock backgrounds, and found common ground there. He added that he had been working with Smith on new material for a year and was very excited about the results.
