JOE SATRIANI was the featured guest on US nationally syndicated radio show Rockline with host Bob Coburn on last night (May 8th). A replay of the show is now available at this location.

Earlier this week, Satriani released a behind the scenes video looking at the recording of his 14th studio album, Unstoppable Momentum, which was released May 7th through Epic Records. Check out the behind the scenes video below:

Unstoppable Momentum was recorded at Skywalker Sound in the Bay Area and produced by Satriani and Mike Fraser (AC/DC). The album features an amazing array of talented players including: Vinnie Colauita (STING, JEFF BECK) on drums, Chris Chaney (JANE'S ADDICTION) on bass and on keyboards, Mike Keneally (DETHKLOK).

Eleven songs were selected to record, all “heading in different directions and touching on a variety of musical influences.” With that in mind, Satriani decided to assemble a new studio band. “The idea was to crank up the energy level of the sessions, and allow for more individual expression of the material from each player. The chemistry with Mike, Chris and Vinnie was fantastic and we blazed through all of the tracks with everyone laying down amazing performances.”

'Unstoppable Momentum'

'Can’t Go Back'

'I’ll Put A Stone On Your Cairn'
