CannonballZ: 8BALLZ2MANY CD (feat. Vince DiCola)
from $25.00
An AOR supergroup with a film-music legend on keys: CannonballZ unites singer Robbie LaBlanc, guitarist Alan Friedman, bass icon Doug Wimbish, drummer Jonathan Mover — and Vince DiCola (Rocky IV, The Transformers: The Movie) on keyboards. 8BALLZ2MANY is the band's one and only studio album — released in 2019 and long out of print.
Story:
Recorded at The Steakhouse in Los Angeles and produced by Mover (Joe Satriani, GTR, Alice Cooper), the album brings together five veterans of melodic rock: LaBlanc (Find Me, Blanc Faces, Fury) up front, Wimbish (Living Colour, Tackhead, Mick Jagger) on bass, Friedman on guitar, and DiCola's unmistakable keyboard sound. Released May 10, 2019 on MelodicRock Records, it sold out at the label long ago.
About the tracks:
Ten tracks, nearly 55 minutes of top-shelf melodic rock: from the driving lead single “Never Giving Up" and fan favorite “Lost In Time" to the epic “Justin Thyme" — closing with “T.N.K.", the band's psychedelic-tinged take on the Beatles classic “Tomorrow Never Knows", the only cover among nine band originals. Vince DiCola's signature keys run through every single track.
