It will feature live in-studio recordings of Wings hits such as "Live and Let Die," "Band on the Run," "Jet" and "My Love," as well as Paul's solo song "Maybe I'm Amazed" and reworked versions of Beatles classics like "Let It Be," "Lady Madonna" and "The Long and Winding Road."

There will be some additional songs that were recorded off-camera.

One Hand Clapping will be released digitally and as a two-LP and two-CD set. There will also be an online exclusive two-LP + 7-inch package that comes with a vinyl single of previously unreleased solo performances recorded in the backyard of Abbey Road Studios.

Former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach recently released a video for "(Hold On) To The Dream," the latest song from his upcoming solo album, Child Within Man.

Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera directed the visual for the track.

"If someone asked me to play the heaviest song I have ever recorded, in my 35-year career, I would play them '(Hold On) To The Dream,'" Bach said.

"This song is an homage to two of my favorite things: classic metal of the '70s and also yacht rock as well! Hence the new term yacht metal! I have never heard a song quite like '(Hold On) To The Dream' where the crushing verse is combined with the luxurious chest-hair harmonies of the chorus," he added. "I have tried to incorporate every tone of my voice into this song. For those of you keeping score, I can tell you that my voice hits some of the highest notes of my career in '(Hold On) To The Dream!' Hold on to your seats! Caution: this is a monster jam!"

Child Within Man is due out on May 10th via Reigning Phoenix Music.

Smashing Pumpkins have named Kiki Wong as their new guitarist after an extensive search.

After longtime guitarist Jeff Schroeder bid good bye in October 2023, the rock band started the recruitment process, with frontman Billy Corgan calling for applications for replacement.

From more than 10,000 applications received, Corgan filtered down to a shortlist. On the basis of audition of candidates in Los Angeles, he finally picked Wong.

The veteran guitarist has shared stages with acts like Bebe Rexha, Taylor Swift, Usher, Bret Michaels, as well as with rock bands Nylon Pink, Hellfire Heart, and currently Vigil of War.

"I was a fan of Kiki's before she submitted her name to be considered - and it's great that someone of her acumen will be part of our touring family. I can't wait to hit the road with Kiki as part of our mad circus. It's definitely an exciting moment for The Smashing Pumpkins to be this busy with touring in 2024. We'll see you all this summer," Corgan said in a statement.

Wong said she is "beyond honored and humbled to be chosen to perform alongside some of rock's greatest and most influential musicians of all time."

The new Smashing Pumpkins lineup, featuring Wong, Corgan, guitarist James Iha, drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, touring members Jack Bates (bass) and Katie Cole (guitar, keys, vocals), is scheduled to make its debut with a U.K. and European Tour beginning at Utilita Arena in Birmingham on June 7.

Universal Music is set to release a new album, Songwriter, featuring 11 previously unreleased recordings by Johnny Cash on June 28th, more than 20 years after the legend's death.

The collection contains 11 songs Cash wrote and recorded in 1993 at LSI Studios in Nashville. The songs are about love, family, sorrow, beauty, survival, spiritual salvation and redemption. There is some humor as well.

John Carter Cash, the son of Johnny and June Carter Cash, conceptualized the record and co-produced it with David Ferguson.

Carter Cash stripped down the demos recorded by the legend to just his vocals and acoustic guitar and then invited musicians, including Marty Stuart, Dave Roe and Pete Abbott, to flesh out the music.

"Nobody plays Cash better than Marty Stuart, and Dave Roe, of course, played with Dad for many years," said John. "The musicians that came in were just tracking with Dad, you know, recording with Dad, just as, in the case of Marty and Dave, they had many times before, so they knew his energies, his movements, and they let him be the guide. It was just playing with Johnny once again, and that's what it was. That was the energy of the creation."

Songwriter will be available to stream and download, as well as on CD and vinyl, including standard black and several limited edition color variants.

Songwriter tracklisting:

1. "Hello Out There"2. "Spotlight"3. "Drive On"4. "I Love You Tonite"5. "Have You Ever Been to Little Rock?"6. "Well Alright"7. "She Sang Sweet Baby James"8. "Poor Valley Girl"9. "Soldier Boy"10."Sing It Pretty Sue"11. "Like A Soldier"

John Oates recently shared a cover of John Prine's "Long Monday."

The cover was released as a preview of Oates' upcoming new studio album, Reunion, which is set to arrive on May 17.

"I chose to record 'Long Monday' due to the evocative nature and down-to-earth beauty of the song's story," Oates said. "I think it's important to respect a songwriter's work. Because of that I wanted to remain faithful to the lyrics and melody while, at the same time, making it my own as far as the arrangement."

"It was recorded in Nashville at Addiction Sound Studio," he added. "The mandolin genius Sierra Hull put her finishing touch on the recording."

Pink Floyd's David Gilmour has announced that his new album, Luck and Strange, will be released on September 6 on Sony Music.

Luck and Strange was recorded over five months in Brighton and London and is Gilmour's first album of new material in nine years. The record was produced by Gilmour and Charlie Andrew.

Of this new working relationship, Gilmour says, "We invited Charlie to the house, so he came and listened to some demos, and said things like, 'Well, why does there have to be a guitar solo there?' and 'Do they all fade out? Can't some of them just end?'"

"He has a wonderful lack of knowledge or respect for this past of mine," the Pink Floyd guitarist added. "He's very direct and not in any way overawed, and I love that. That is just so good for me because the last thing you want is people just deferring to you".

The majority of the album's lyrics have been composed by Polly Samson, Gilmour's co-writer and collaborator for the past thirty years.

Samson says of the lyrical themes covered on Luck and Strange, "It's written from the point of view of being older; mortality is the constant."

Gilmour elaborates, "We spent a load of time during and after lockdown talking about and thinking about those kind of things."

Samson also found the experience of working with Charlie Andrew liberating, saying, "He wants to know what the songs are about, he wants everyone who's playing on them to have the ideas that are in the lyric informing their playing. I have particularly loved it for that reason".

The album features eight new tracks along with a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers' "Between Two Points" and has artwork and photography by the renowned artist Anton Corbijn.

Musicians contributing to the record include Guy Pratt and Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry and Roger Eno on keyboards, with string and choral arrangements by Will Gardner. The title track also features the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright.

Luck and Strange is available in LP, CD, Blu-Ray & Digital For Pre-Order at https://davidgilmour.lnk.to/LuckandStrange

Gilmour also shared the track "The Piper's Call" from the upcoming album.
