- “Welcome All Again,” Collective Soul, from their forthcoming album “Collective Soul” (AKA “Rabbit”).
One of my all-time favorite bands, Collective Soul, releases its new album Tuesday. It will be the group’s second self-titled CD, but it has gained the nickname “Rabbit” because of the cover art by Atlanta photographer Joseph Guay.
I received earlier this week my review copy of the CD and will bringing you my review next week.
I don’t want to reveal too much, but will tell you that even though I’ve been following the band since its mid ’90s post-grunge heyday, they were still able to surprise me. Several of the tracks on the album have them experimenting in new ways but still sounding like Collective Soul.
My Friday Featured Track this week is the opening song on the album, the driving rocker “Welcome All Again,” which in classic Collective Soul tradition has an irresistible guitar riff and Ed Roland’s great vocals, plus some gorgeous piano flourishes.
The band opened its Tulsa show last month with “Welcome All Again,” which manages to sound both intense and upbeat, and it really electrified the crowd. It’s a great way to start a record.
