Duff McKagan, bassist of Guns N’ Roses fame, has released the title track from his upcoming third solo album ‘Lighthouse’. The 11-track LP boasts a star-studded list of collaborators, including his Guns N’ Roses bandmate Slash, Alice in Chains’ Jerry Cantrell and the legendary Iggy Pop.
Discussing the album and its meaning, McKagan said: “Life sometimes tosses us around, and we feel the want of comfort and the pull of home. A ship tossed like a toy through the Cape, sails ripped and the wood groaning with the scraping of its ballast…. a soul trying with all its might to find peace and a center.” He went on to add: “Find a lighthouse. I have my lighthouse…. its beacon swirling in the darkness with her warmth and promise of nurture, love, laughter, and all that is true. Won’t you be my lighthouse, give me light,… and bring me home.”
‘Lighthouse’ is set for release on October 20, and is available for pre-order now. The album features tracks such as ‘Longfeather’, ‘Holy Water’, ‘Fallen Ones’ and ‘Hope’.
Guns N’ Roses are currently on their world tour, and will be closing out the British Summer Time Festival (BST) in London’s Hyde Park in July. The band is also set to headline Glastonbury Festival alongside Arctic Monkeys and Elton John.
Fans of McKagan and Guns N’ Roses alike have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming months. Don’t miss out on the chance to hear the new album, ‘Lighthouse’, when it drops on October 20.
