“While flying home from Europe after all of our tours being cancelled, I decided the band and myself would record a free album for our fans,” says Mike Zito. “Individually, we had been quarantined for 14 days and this idea of writing, producing and releasing an album in the 14-day period seemed like quite an effort and a distraction for us. In return, fans from around the world contributed to our Gofundme and it has been an amazingly rewarding experience.
I hope our fans enjoy the album and the music we have written. I followed no rules. I wrote what I was feeling regardless of style or genre and used my feelings of fear, hope, love and rebelliousness to fuel my creativity.
I have collaborations with LA Guns and Guns n Roses founding
member, Tracii Guns on the song ‘Don’t Touch Me’ and several
songwriting efforts with my label partner Guy Hale. I left the ‘rules’ on
the floor and followed my heart. I think these are some of the best songs I
have written in years.”
The Quarantine Blues album is available, free to stream and download and
is Mike Zito and his band’s gift to you! Enjoy!
