Michael Gallucci — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:00:24 +0000

‘Street Survivors’ was going to be the album that would make Lynyrd Skynyrd even bigger stars.

Bret Michaels Works With Michael Anthony, Ace Frehley, Lynyrd Skynyrd + More for New Solo Album

Billy Dukes — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 21:00:01 +0000

It’s somewhat misleading to call Bret Michaels‘ next album a solo effort, as he’s teamed up with nearly a dozen well-known rockers and country musicians. The Poison frontman has recorded the project without the band that made him famous. Instead, artists like Ace Frehley, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Aerosmith’s Joe Perry and many more will join him on Poison hits.
