DAMN YANKEES Reunion In The Works?
August 12, 2009, 15 years ago
Jack Blades has revealed to Classic Rock that he would love to do a new DAMN YANKEES album.
However, the NIGHT RANGER bassist/vocalist says there are practical problems: “You try to co-ordinate everyone’s schedules! I talk all the time to TED [NUGENT], and Night Ranger are about to tour in America with STYX, so Tommy [Shaw] and I will get the chance to write. But, at the moment another Damn Yankees album seems a long way off.”
Blades, though, is working on a new solo album, and also a second record with Tommy Shaw.
“We hope to have the have the SHAW BLADES album [to be titled Influence 2] out soon. It’s got some cool stuff. We’ve done a version of ELTON JOHN’s Tiny Dancer, with Bun E. Carlos of CHEAP TRICK on drums. It’s come out so well.”
