Veteran rock singer Jeff Scott Soto is easily one of the most prolific artists in our favorite genre, having contributed his vocals to as many as 60 albums. He has worked with a plethora of musicians, most notably with Yngwie Malmsteen, Talisman, Journey and Trans-Siberian Orchestra. But other than his collaborations and work in other bands, he has released four solo albums that have showcased the versatility in his voice. Now he is ready to release his fifth solo album “Damage Control”, on March 27th via Frontiers Records, an album that certainly goes back to more of a rock sound as compared to the more mainstream direction of the previous release “Beautiful Mess”, and fans of hard rock will find this new album to their liking.
Today on March 13th 2012, just a half an hour ago, I had the pleasure of speaking to Jeff, and we discussed the new album in detail, along with the other things he’s currently involved in, and his views on social networking. Listen to the 16-minute conversation below, and check out his official website for more info on “Damage Control”.
