In February, the second of OVERDRIVE/CONSTANCIA/LOCOMOTIVE BREATH guitarist Janne Stark’s tributes to the seventies under the moniker MOUNTAIN OF POWER will be released on Grooveyard Records.

Tasters of the following cover tracks are streaming now at this location: 'Monkey' (TRAPEZE), 'Bad Penny'/'Keychain' (RORY GALLAGHER), 'Indian Dawn'/(Hellcat) (ELECTRIC SUN/SCORPIONS) and 'Checking It Out'/'Sister Madness' (OZZ).

On Mountain Of Power's Volume Two, Stark has widened the guest invitations quite a bit, both in rank and nationality.

Stark comments: "It is indeed a nice list of guests on this album, where you’ll find EUROPE's John Norum showing his love for FRANK MARINO in a guitar-overdriven cover of 'Talkin’ Bout A Feeling', POINT BLANK’s Rusty Burns helping pay tribute to the late Jakson Spires in a cover of BLACKFOOT’s 'I Stand Alone' and RUFUS HUFF boys Greg Martin and Jarrod England help make a really hot cover of TRAPEZE’s 'Monkey', a tribute to the late Mel Galley.

I really wanted for each song to get the perfect musical ingredients and I did my best to try and find singers and fellow guitarists that would match the sounds I was looking for. I must say I’m extremely happy with the result. On this one I took care of all rhythm guitars and bass myself, besides soloing here and there of course.

The drums are for the most part handled by TrumPeter Svensson (FAITH/CONSTANCIA)."

The album was mixed by Pelle Saether and mastered by Ty Tabor (KING'S X).

Stark continues: "My aim is to do covers of bands I grew up with and was inspired by, plus I’m going for songs that have rarely or never been covered before. There are also some dedications to people I had the pleasure of being in touch with or meet. One being Mel Galley, whom I contacted asking if he was ok with me doing a cover of a Trapeze track. He was all for it and suggested I’d do “Monkey”. We mailed a bit back and forth and shortly after he went public with his terminal cancer. I originally wanted Glenn Hughes to sing it, but it fell through for various reasons and instead Jarrod England from Rufus Huff did it amazingly!"
