Guitar-Heroes sing a song with six strings

NEW YORK (Sony Music) - An assemblage of guitar legends have lent their talent to the release of Sing A Song With Six Strings on October 5, 2004, a collection of 13 songs by guitar-heroes inspired by children, fatherhood and family.

Executive produced by Eddie Kramer(producer for Jimi Hendrix/Kiss), the album features an eclectic mix of artists and draws from rock, blues, adult contemporary and country music.
With combined artist achievements totaling 119 Platinum albums and 40 Grammy Awards, rarely has a roster of such diversity and talent graced an album of this substance, while showing artists from a perspective seldom seen by their usual fans.

Sing A Song With Six Strings includes six never before released songs that were written and/or recorded specifically for this collection by Slash, Kyle Cook, Marc Ford, Vernon Reid, Craig Ross and Dean DeLeo. Additional tracks include Carol Perkins' "All Mama's Children," Keb' Mo's "Grandma's Hands" and Santana's classic "Let The Children Play," off of his Festival album.

Slash elaborates on his track "Sing A Song Of Sixpence," "I did it in the style I felt most comfortable... rock n' roll. When it was finished, I played it for my then 1 year old son London and I got smiles of approval. I figured it must have hit the mark!"

Other stand out cuts on the album are Peter Frampton's ode to his daughter "Mia Rose," Kyle Cook's "Always This Near" (who shares the album cover with his daughter) and the infamous Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble recording of "Mary Had A Little Lamb."
"Ultimately, I think we created a unique collection of music that showcases another dimension of these artists," says Kramer. In the end, he hopes Sing A Song With Six Strings, will not only bring parents and their children closer through music, but will offer listeners a fresh insight into the personal side of these legendary guitarists.

Sing A Song... is a great way to for the entire family to enjoy music together in a multitude of genres. Sing A Song With Six Strings will be available on October 5, 2004 from Sony Wonder, the family division of Sony Music Entertainment.
