Ratt singer Stephen Pearcy has released I Need U, the first single from his upcoming sixth solo album The Dogg Mob. The track features Pearcy on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Erik Ferentinos on guitar, Matt Thorne on bass, Blas Elias on drums and an undisclosed “special guest” on guitar.
“This song’s on me — download it before they charge ya,” Pearcy wrote on his official web site. “We’ve been writing some killer material the last few years — Erik Ferentinos and I — with Matt Thorne at MT Studios shaping the sound. We’re fired up about this record.” Listen here.
This past February, Pearcy teased his upcoming LP by rolling out a snippet of the song Drive All Night Long. The track, which can be previewed on Stephen‘s Instagram, was written by Pearcy and features one of the album’s many special guests on lead guitar — someone whose name will soon be revealed.
The Dogg Mob is tentatively due this summer via Pearcy‘s Top Fuel Records
For the past year, Pearcy has been playing sporadic shows with guitarist extraordinaire Warren DeMartini — his longtime bandmate in Ratt — under the Pearcy/DeMartIni moniker.label.
