ACE FREHLEY Announces Origins Vol. 2 Album By Larry Petro, News Monkey Tuesday, July 28, 2020 @ 1:21 PM
Recorded at The Creation Lab in Turlock, CA, Frehley recorded guitar, bass, and vocals on "Space Truckin'" with long-time studio drummer Matt Starr and keyboard player Rob Sabino (Peter Frampton, Simon & Garfunkel).
Ace offers,""Space Truckin'" was recorded years ago, and then I just re-recorded some parts and changed it a little. We never ended up putting it on a record, so it was just sitting around. It turned out very well. Rob Sabino is a very accomplished studio musician, and we actually grew up in the Bronx together, so we go way back."
The official video for “Space Truckin’” was directed by eOne's Ken Gullic (VP, Sales & Acquisitions, Music) and animated by Chris Fequiere, the same team behind the "Mission to Mars" music video from Frehley's Spaceman album in 2018.
Frehley has also re-signed with eOne for more new releases, which extends his original deal signed in 2013. During his tenure, he has released three albums worth of new material, Origins Vol. 2
eOne’s Scott Givens, SVP, Rock & Metal, Music says, "I am thrilled to extend our partnership with Ace Frehley. He is a core artist for eOne and I look forward to more continued success with him."
eOne’s Ken Gullic, VP, Sales & Acquisitions, Music, offers, “We were warned before our first meeting with Ace in 2014 that he’d never deliver an album or get on the plane for that very meeting. He showed up with an early version of Steve Miller’s “The Joker” in hand and then cranked out eleven brand new songs at lightning speed for his first top 10 solo album ever, Space Invader, just in time for his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction as a KISS member in 2014. With nine albums into his vibrant solo career, one that clearly stands on its own, it's time for Ace to be considered as a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inducted solo performer too."
Origins Vol 2. features some extraordinary guests, including Robin Zander of CHEAP TRICK on HUMBLE PIE's "30 Days In The Hole", and former KISS comrade Bruce Kulick on Jimi Hendrix's "Manic Depression". Origins Vol. 1 alumnus John 5 also returns, playing on CREAM's "Politician", and THE BEATLES' "I'm Down". Finally, the exquisite Lita Ford returns on vocals, this time on THE ROLLING STONES' 1968 hit "Jumpin' Jack Flash". Full tracklisting below.

Pre-orders are available today at www.acefrehleyorigins.com -- which includes an exclusive 180g Opaque Gold Double LP variant (limited to 1000 copies + download card).

Frehley continues his reflections on a lifetime in music with this release of Origins Vol. 2. No stranger to cover versions throughout his musical history — having recorded, rebranded and repossessed such notable nuggets as "New York Groove", "Do Ya" and "I Wanna Go Back" throughout his eight previous studio efforts — this new collection presents a thoughtful and exciting selection of songs that inspired and helped shape the legendary guitarist. That spirit of fun is carried through with exquisite execution, and guitar aficionados will enjoy Frehley's fresh interpretations of these classic songs.|
