Rob Zombie guitarist John 5 has released more details for his upcoming solo album Careful With That Axe, which comes out August 12th via 60 Cycle Hum. The album will be the follow up to 2012’s God Told Me To and will be preceded by its first single “This Is My Rifle” this upcoming Tuesday, the 17th, the same day that preorders for the album go live.
The album features Rodger Carter on drums – who also co-produced the album – and Matt Bissonette on bass.
Direct from the press release:
From his flawless finger picking technique on the Latin flavored “El Cucuy” and his fast, intricate guitar-work on the classic Jerry Reed covers “Jerry’s Breakdown” and “Jiffy Jam,” banjo included, to anthemic “Six Hundred and Sixty Six Pickers In Hell,” John 5 gracefully weaves in and out of many different styles ranging from metal and rock, to bluegrass, country & western and flamenco, all harmoniously coming together for his magnum opus ‘Careful With That Axe’.
Below is the full track listing as well as all upcoming tour dates.
