Ex-Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach and longtime Deep Purple guitarist Steve Morse are among many artists taking part in an upcoming tribute album to Rush.
The two-disc compilation, aptly titled An All-Star Tribute to Rush, will be released June 24. It consists of 27 covers of Rush classics, including “Closer to the Heart,” “Tom Sawyer,” “Limelight,” “Fly by Night,” “The Spirit of Radio,” “Subdivisions” and “YYZ.”
Other artists participating include Kip Winger, Great White‘s Jack Russell, Mr. Big‘s Eric Martin, former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee, Dokken‘s George Lynch, Zebra‘s Randy Jackson, Slaughter‘s Mark Slaughter, Testament‘s Alex Skolnick, and Dream Theater members James LaBrie and John Petrucci. Additionally, the album features late Warrant vocalist Jani Lane on two tracks.
If that’s not enough Rush tributes for you, Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante is releasing his own Rush covers EP, which will be available this Saturday as part of Record Store Day.
