As previously reported, bassist Billy Sheehan (NIACIN, MR.BIG) is gearing up to release his new solo album, Holy Cow! The official press release is available below.

Legendary Bass Master Bill Sheehan is releasing his much anticipated third solo album entitled Holy Cow! on Mascot Records U.S.A. April 14th, 2009. The albums tracks showcase Sheehan’s immense talents as both a singer/songwriter and instrumentalist.

Sheehan pulled in top-notch arsenal with guest performances by Billy Gibbons on 'A Lit’l Bit’l Do It To Ya Ev’ry Time', Paul Gilbert (who played with Sheehan in Mr Big) on 'Dynamic Exhilarator', Dug Pinnick (KING'S X) on the song 'Turning Point' as well as Ray Luzier on drums and shred master Tony MacAlpine.

Sheehan has played over 4,000 gigs with a career that includes stints with Talas, David Lee Roth, Mr Big, and Steve Vai. Voted the Best Rock Bass Player five times in Guitar Player magazines Readers Poll, an honor which placed Sheehan in their Gallery of Greats (alongside Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, Geddy Lee and Eddie Van Halen to name but a few). With cumulative sales of over 4 million records in his career, Billy Sheehan has made the album his fans have been waiting for, over the top playing with strong songs.

Sheehan continues to stretch the boundaries of the bass guitar while showcasing his immense talent as a guitarist (Baritone 12 string and 6 string guitars) and singer. Look for a Billy Sheehan solo tour to promote this album in the very near future.
