Roots & Shoots Vol. One | CD | Jim Peterik And World Stage

Jim Peterik's World Stage concept, based on the idea of musical and spiritual collaboration between artists and friends, has produced a whole series of records. The journey began with the legendary debut Album, which brought together partnerships with Rock greats like Dennis DeYoung, Kevin Cronin, Johnny Van Zant, Don Barnes, Tom Keifer, and others. With the new 'Roots and Shoots' Album concept, the Chicago artist presents two excellent Albums that equally focus on Roots (classic Rock stars) and Shoots (upcoming Rock stars). Part One of this concept features Kevin Cronin (REO Speedwagon, with the whole band on 'Dangerous Combination'), Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Don Barnes (38 Special), Mark Farner (Grand Funk), along with emerging talents like Colin Peterik (Jim's son!), Ashton Brooke Gill, Paul Childers, Leslie Hunt, Mark Mackay, and a captivating duet between Dave Mikulskis and Lisa McClowry. World Stage embodies Jim Peterik's outstanding musical legacy, a testament to his songwriting skills as one of the true icons of melodic Rock. Throughout his career, Jim Peterik has written some of the unforgettable songs of Rock music, including 'Vehicle' by The Ides Of March (where he served as lead singer), hits like 'Eye Of The Tiger,' 'The Search Is Over,' 'High On You,' 'I Can't Hold Back,' and classics for 38 Special like 'Hold On Loosely,' 'Caught Up In You,' 'Fantasy Girl,' and 'Rockin' Into The Night.' He has also contributed to 'Heavy Metal' with Sammy Hagar, among others.
