PAUL GILBERT AND THE PLAYERS CLUB / MASCOT LABEL GROUP ANNOUNCE THE GLOBAL RELEASE OF TWAS! IT WILL BE RELEASED AS A CD AND DIGITAL ON NOVEMBER 26 AND AS LP ON DECEMBER 10.
Gilbert explains: βTen of the songs are old classics. I was inspired by Christmas songs recorded by Nat King Cole, Loretta Lynn, Stevie Wonder, Barbra Streisand, Johnny Mathis, Ella Fitzgerald and The Ventures. Of course, I was also inspired by my guitar heroes Eddie Van Halen, Alex Lifeson, Johnny Winter, Robin Trower, Frank Marino, Pat Travers, Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page to name a few. I also wrote some of my own new Christmas songs. As I did recently, I started with lyrics and a melody. Then I let the guitar take over because it sings better than I do. β
