June 6, 2011, 13 years ago
Laura Mann of The Dallas Observer reports that even though MÖTLEY CRÜE is currently on tour across North America with POISON, Crüe guitarist Mick Mars is working on some new things, too.
He recently jammed with legendary jazz guitarist George Benson, and the two found that they had a lot in common - namely that they're both fans of Wes Montgomery. The session so affected Mars, he's now considering releasing a solo effort of R&B;, soul, and blues songs. No rush, though - it will happen "if and when I find the right people," he says.
"I found the right drummer, and I've asked Macy Gray if she'd like to guest on it," he says. "It's not going to be anything like Mötley Crüe, but a lot of different cultural beats.""I call it 'pure music,'" he says, citing the work of Carlos Santana as an example of what might come.
