Former EAGLES guitarist/songwriter Don Felder has recorded a new version of the song 'Hotel California' with members of STYX and FOREIGNER. The three acts will hit the road together on The Soundtrack Of Summer tour, beginning May 14th in Kansas.

The new version of 'Hotel California' has Felder swapping lead vocals with Styx's Tommy Shaw and Foreigner's Kelly Hansen. It will appear on The Soundtrack Of Summer tour companion CD, on sale May 6th, exclusively at Walmart.

Felder, who wrote the song with Don Henley and Glenn Frey, has refurbished the song once before, giving it an acoustic arrangement for the Eagles' 1994 Hell Freezes Over live album.

"I was a bit perplexed about how to go about doing it" a second time, Felder tells USA Today . The new version incorporates some flamenco rhythms before progressing into a full-scale rock treatment. "It grows from this acoustic steel-string version to where the electric guitars come in at the end."

Listen to the track below:

Combined, they’ve sold over 250 million albums worldwide. They’ve had 36 #1 and Top 10 smash hit singles that are still being spun on Classic Rock radio over 500,000 times every year. They’ve performed thousands of concerts worldwide to countless crowds. Now it’s time for three of the most legendary names in rock to come together for a massive US summer tour.

Styx and Foreigner, with very special guest Don Felder, will join forces for the The Soundtrack Of Summer (#thesoundtrackofsummer) three-month US trek, which will kick-off May 16th in Oklahoma City, OK at the Zoo Amphitheatre.

Fans can check out the tour’s official website for info about all three acts, ticket on-sale dates, and more shows that will be announced in the coming weeks.

“The addition of Don Felder to The Soundtrack of Summer tour means that the combined album sales of all three acts, as well as all the bands they were once members of, is well north of 200 million worldwide,” declares Styx guitarist/singer James “JY” Young. “Certainly by this yardstick, The Soundtrack of Summer has got to easily be in the Top Ten three-act concert tours to ever hit the road. ‘Renegade’ ‘Juke Box Heroes’ partying at the ‘Hotel California’ will be your slammin' soundtrack of a rockin' hot summer! What more could you ask for after this crazy cold winter we are having?”
“As longtime friends, we’re happy to join Styx and Don Felder for the ultimate soundtrack of summer,” says Foreigner founding member and lead guitarist Mick Jones. “Our combined songs are some of America’s favorite summer anthems, and we’re excited to be bringing them to our fans across the country.”
“This tour will have the best vocalists and guitarists on the road today,” exclaims Don Felder. “The sheer volume of our combined catalogs is massive and should satisfy any rock & roll fan, and rock them until they can’t walk out of the place.”
