Joe Satriani calls the songs on his new album, Unstoppable Momentum, as all "heading in different directions and touching on a variety of musical influences," and fans will be able to hear just what he means when the record is released on 7 May.
Satch has just unveiled the artwork and tracklisting for the new set, which he recorded earlier this year at Skywalker Sound in San Francisco with Mike Keneally on keyboards, Chris Chaney on bass and Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. Legendary record maker Mike Fraser engineered and co-produced the album with Satriani.
The tracklisting is as follows:
1. UNSTOPPABLE MOMENTUM
2. CAN'T GO BACK
3. LIES AND TRUTHS
4. THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND
5. I'LL PUT A STONE ON YOUR CAIRN
6.A DOOR INTO SUMMER
7. SHINE ON AMERICAN DREAMER
8. JUMPIN' IN
9.JUMPIN' OUT
10. THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
11. A CELEBRATION
