Vocalist and co-founder of legendary \u201880s hard rock group Great White, Jack Russell, is proud to announce the release of a very special acoustic album revisiting the band\u2019s 1987 multi-platinum masterpiece Once Bitten featuring some of their biggest and most recognizable hits including \u201cSave Your Love\u201d and \u201cRock Me!\u201d Aided by the likes of guitarist Robby Lochner (who also produced and mixed the album), longtime Great White bassist Tony Montana (now on guitar), bassist Dan McNay and drummer Dicki Fliszer, these songs have been stripped to their emotional core, spotlighting the intensely passionate story at the heart of each song. Just check out the new version of the unforgettable ballad \u201cSave Your Love,\u201d which has been shorn of all rockstar pomp to reveal a heartfelt hymn yearning, love and loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or just watch the new video, directed by Vicente Cordero of Industrialism Films (Queensr\u00ffche, Tom Keifer), which communicates the song\u2019s message powerfully:\u00a0https:\/\/youtu.be\/c9aNaQMcyTA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jack Russell explains \u201cOnce Bitten is one of my favorite albums that we did. I always wondered what it would sound like done acoustically. The experience recording this unplugged version was really neat. It brought back a lot of memories of the original recording session, things I had forgotten about. Interestingly, the songs that I thought wouldn\u2019t translate acoustically like \u2018Livin\u2019 On The Edge\u2019 and \u2018Never Change Heart,\u2019 the heavier songs, came out the best. Now, I\u2019m looking forward to doing it again for \u2026Twice Shy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once Bitten Acoustic Bytes will be available everywhere starting May 1 on digital as well as CD and a limited edition BLUE vinyl LP from Deadline Music, a division of Cleopatra Records, Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
