 Steve Stevens
“Flamenco A Go-Go”
due in stores February 22
Steve Stevens spent a good portion of the 1980s playing guitar and writing songs with the likes of Billy Idol and Michael Jackson, and earned himself a Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Performance for his song on the “Top Gun” soundtrack. For the past two years, Steve has been recording his first solo album “Flamenco A Go-Go,” a major departure from his earlier work. Steve is proud to say that this record features no electric guitar – just one flamenco guitar delicately layered upon electronic rhythms.
A few guests make appearances on Steven’s solo debut: Howard Jones co-wrote and played piano on “Letter to a Memory,” Vinnie Colaiuta played drums on 3 tracks, and French rai artist Faudel sings on the track “Hanina.” Stevens wrote every song and played all the instruments on this daring new record, and he produced and engineered the album himself.
