Bret Michaels will release his new album, “Good Songs & Great Friends,” on February 26, 2013 via Poor Boy Records.
The project brings together the friends that Michaels has made along the way with some of the songs that have shaped all of that success.
Fetauring musicians from a variety of genres and generations, “Good Songs & Great Friends” includes a live duet with Jimmy Buffett ("Margaritaville"), a cover of "Sweet Home Alabama" with Gary Rossington, Rickey Medlocke and Peter Keys from Lynyrd Skynyrd playing on the track, and new versions of some of Poison's biggest hits, including the highly-anticipated remake of "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" with Loretta Lynn.
Artists such as Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Michael Anthony of Van Halen/Chickenfoot, Leslie West of Mountain, Ace Frehley of Kiss/Frehley's Comet appear on the record, just to name a few.
“Good Songs & Great Friends” features 17 songs and, in addition to the artists mentioned, also features Miley Cyrus, Hugh McDonald (Bon Jovi), Bobby Capps (38 Special), Scot Coogan (Lita Ford), The Sheilds Brothers, and more.
Two new songs appear on the album - "The App Song" and "You Know You Want It."
