Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge, Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators) released his first solo album, Year Of The Tiger, on March 9th via Napalm Records. In the video below, he discusses the song "Nothing But A Name" saying, "This was a challenging one to write because of how direct it was."

Year Of The Tiger is now available in various bundle configurations here. The album is also available digitally at this location.

On Year Of The Tiger, Myles embarks on his first venture as a solo artist by embracing musical elements and influences he hasn’t explored until this point in his career. Kennedy himself plays banjo, lap steel, bass, and mandolin, in addition to guitar throughout the album. His emotional journey and personal story is captured in a bluesy-Americana album with a twist of country and rock, highlighting his unmistakable and soulful voice.
