From Press Release:
COLLECTIVE SOUL–Ed Roland (vocals/guitar), Dean Roland (rhythm guitar), Will Turpin (bass/background vocals), Jesse Triplett (lead guitar/background vocals), Johnny Rabb (drums/background vocals)—is celebrating their 30th anniversary.
On May 17, the band released a DOUBLE album, HERE TO ETERNITY, produced by E. Roland and co-produced by Shawn Grove. The album was recorded at Elvis Presley’s estate in Palm Springs and the band is the only other music artist to ever record where Elvis and Priscilla Presley spent their honeymoon and celebrated their Las Vegas wedding in 1967. The album includes 20 songs and features the band’s first release, “Mother’s Love”, which includes longtime Paul McCartney guitarist Brian Ray on slide guitar.
“I happened to be walkin’ down the street and I had met Brian Ray a couple of times,” Ed Roland said. “I saw him and was like, ‘Brian, hey man. Why don’t you come over and break bread? We’re up at Elvis’ house.’”The invite turned into a session, Roland added,“I’m gettin’ pretty sneaky in my old age.”
