TESLA Guitarist FRANK HANNON new album solo

TESLA Guitarist FRANK HANNON - "I’m Kind Of An Artist Who’s Always Trying To Do New Things, I Don’t Like To Repeat Myself"





Legendary Rock Interviews' John Parks has issued a new interview with TESLA guitarist FRANK HANNON. An excerpt follows:


Q: Everyone is digging your latest album Frank. Six String Soldiers is your third solo effort right?


A: "This is my third solo effort, yeah. My first was called Guitars
From Mars, my second was more of an acoustic, introspective,
storytelling kind of album where I did all the vocals, instruments and
lyrics myself. That was Gypsy Highway which was a total self produced
album. This latest album, Six String Soldiers is a collaboration with
some guys that I met from Albuquerque, New Mexico who had never made an
album before, Mike Araiza who is our other guitarist and Jeff Sandoval
our singer. I met Mike through a guitar battle that I judged down in
Albuquerque. He won the guitar battle and was really great and sat in
with Tesla at a show we were doing there. We hit it off and started
writing and recording these songs. So, again, it’s something different.
I’m kind of an artist who’s always trying to do new things, I don’t like
to repeat myself. I like to explore different styles and different
influences so each one of my records is different. This one’s much more
hard rock. Gypsy Highway had banjos and dobro slide and was real
personal lyrically where Six String Soldiers is really built around rock
riffs and drums and my singer Jeff Sandoval’s voice, he has a really
strong, rock and roll kind of voice."
