Turner recently said they wanted to explore each other's musical styles when they entered the studio - and the album has a definite classic rock feel. He said: "We wanted to keep it retro with a modern edge. The songs are classic rock, but that's an understatement. They are what they are and they transformed as we went along recording."

On October 12, Turner, Appice and other artists will hold a benefit concert in New York for guitarist Cochran, who suffered a stroke earlier this year. The axeman spent the summer receiving therapy to help him walk again.
