Sammy Hagar will perform the first single from his forthcoming album, “Sammy Hagar & Friends”, on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno this Thursday, August 1.
“[We're] going to play the new single, 'Knockdown Dragout', and have something special planned for the second verse,” says Hagar. “See if you can spot it and figure out what it means!"
Hagar will perform on the show with his backing band, The Wabos, while the studio version features Kid Rock, Joe Satriani and Montrose’s Denny Carmassi.
The new album marks the Red Rocker’s first solo project in five years. Hagar teams up with a variety of artists, including Kid Rock, Nancy Wilson (Heart), Ronnie Dunn (Brooks & Dunn), Neal Schon (Journey, HSAS), Chickenfoot pals Chad Smith, Michael Anthony and Joe Satriani; Montrose bandmates Bill Church and Denny Carmassi, his solo band The Wabos and more on a collection of 10 new songs and unexpected covers.
“Sammy Hagar And Friends” is set for release on September 24 in North America, September 29 in the U.K., and September 27 in the rest of Europe.
The record will be available in a standard edition package, as well as deluxe edition packaged in a high-gloss digipak. The deluxe CD/DVD package includes an exclusive bonus audio track, "Space Station #5", recorded live at the Ronnie Montrose Tribute Concert held on April 29, 2012 in San Francisco, as well as the "making-of" album documentary which includes bonus video of "Knockdown Dragout", and more.
