“It just took decades to muster up the courage. “This was something I had wanted to dive into throughout my career,” Kennedy continues. By all accounts, my father was a good, honest man, but I still struggle with the choices he made which ultimately led to his death. “So when he became ill, he chose not to seek medical attention, and passed away a few months later. “My family was very involved in the Christian Science church,” he says. What eventually emerged was Year of the Tiger, an album almost entirely focused on the loss of Kennedy’s father when the singer was just four years old. “I realized it was time to jump head-first into something I’ve been putting off for my whole life as a writer.” “It became incredibly obvious what the source of inspiration needed to be lyrically,” he says. So he started over, and found himself “writing like a madman.” More than twenty songs spilled out in a short period of time, and as Kennedy listened to his work, he began to comprehend the direction in which the music was pulling him.
“It was actually finished two years ago, but when I listened to it with a fresh perspective, when all was said and done, I thought it wasn’t the right first step to take in this journey-its shelf life had expired.”
“I had been working on a record for about seven years,” says the singer/songwriter known worldwide as the voice of Alter Bridge and of Slash’s band, Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. Tickets & Info: Myles Kennedy had finished his first solo album.
