"writing & recording songs for a new solo album due out on my indie-label,
NEW EMPIRE MEDIA.
Currently in production on the album with my dear bro,
legendary Led Zeppelin / Rolling Stones engineer/producer, A N D Y J O H N S
So far, Willie and Andy have produced the album's single, "BREAK AWAY"
(look for it streaming online everywhere
by the end of March 2010)
It features GEORGE LYNCH (Dokken) on lead guitars,
MITCH PERRY on guitars,
JAMES KOTTAK (Scorpions / Kottak) on drums.
"It's a simple stripper song about me going solo. Kind of a true story - currently where I'm at in my career" says Willie
"The song makes you wanna take your clothes off
and D A N C E ! "
George Lynch says:
"Working with George Lynch again is amazing and we're enjoying lots of creative fun! We can actually do anything and go anywhere without limits," commented Willie Basse. "His contribution to my project, along with unmatched professional musicianship enlightens me, and inspires me to new heights."
"Ok. First you have Andy Johns. Hello, Andy Johns?! He's done a few records... LED ZEPPELIN, ROLLING STONES," added George Lynch. "Then you've got Willie, who I played with back in the '80s, so we've got some history.
"Willie is so passionate about the music that he lives and breathes.
"Working on these tracks is liking going back in time, in a good way! It's very reminiscent of PRIEST and other hard rock bands of that era. And everything starts out analog. You just can't beat tape. I felt like I was back in 1987 recording a classic DOKKEN record!"
