Classic rock artists are starting to write and record new songs that address this once-in-a-lifetime situation the world finds itself in. Choice Classic Rock is adding them all into high rotation on our playlist. A new Rolling Stones track was added into rotation a while ago, and now joining it are these four songs that are all intended to help us get through the social isolation we are all experiencing in “these strangest of times”. The following tracks say “don’t give up”, “we got this” and “we’ll get through this Pandemic Schmandemic if we all work together!”:
Alice Cooper – Don’t Give Up … Alice addresses us directly with spoken words and a killer track in this new release. Don’t give up – we are all in this together … all 7 billion of us.
Queen & Adam Lambert – You Are The Champions … the iconic group and their sometimes singer join together for a reworking of one of the band’s most classic songs – and give it a slightly different title.
Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo – Together … A song that lets us know that we are truly in this “together”.
The Scorpions – Sign Of Hope … A song that looks to the future and says “keep your chin up”.
The other five songs added into high rotation are all singles from upcoming albums by classic rock artists. Listen for:
Deep Purple – Man Alive … This is the 2nd single released from the band’s upcoming album Whoosh – which is scheduled for release on June 12th, 2020.
Dion – Big Bam Boom … This is the first single from the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famer’s upcoming new album which is called Blues With Friends. The album features guest appearances by Bruce Springsteen, Jeff Beck and on this track he is assisted by Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. It is scheduled to be released on June 5th, 2020.
