    I just finished my final keyboard overdubs today for solo record #7 (I still need an album title, and 7 song titles!!) Simon Phillips is mixing over the next 10 days.

    I am very excited about this record. It is very much in the vein of the early Jeff Beck instrumental records. I am using a lot of Vintage B3, Rhodes. Moog and piano throughout the record.

    Special thanks to Steve Lukather, Steve Stevens, Joe Bonamassa, Tony MacAlpine, Doug Aldrich, Jimmy Johnson, and especially Simon Phillips for your involvement. This record will be released in August on Mascot Records.

    I am going to take sometime off before the Black Country Communion tour kicks off in June. Look for the realease of BCC “2? in June.

    I hope to see you this summer.
    Cheers,
    Derek Sherinian
