If you believe, then you'll love “I Still Believe”!
America is a target rich environment for an independent man addicted to logic, truth and The American Way. “I Still Believe” throttles the animal spirit of rugged individualism in pure Motor City ultra Hi-Energy Rhythm & Blues and Rock & Roll. – Ted Nugent

A New Twist On The Music Of Frank Sinatra
Eagle Rock Presents
SIN-ATRA
CD Released March 29, 2011


New York, NY (February, 2011) - What would timeless songs like “New York, New York,” “Lady Is A Tramp,” and “Fly Me To The Moon,” sound like cranked out of Marshall stacks, crooned by members of Cheap Trick, Twisted Sister, Deep Purple, Anthrax, Mr. Big or Queensrÿche?
This can now be experienced on SIN-Atra, a brand new album to be released by Eagle Rock Entertainment on March 29, 2011.
This all-star project, created from the team that brought you the merry, molten melodies of We Wish You A Metal Xmas, reinvents the classic songs that the great Frank Sinatra performed and, in turn, made famous. These twelve cherished tunes, written by some of the greatest songwriters of all time, are given a radical hard rock/heavy metal treatment, resulting in electrically charged versions of the classics.

Some of the most potent and recognizable voices of rock rework such legendary gems as “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “Strangers In The Night,” and “That’s Life,” including Dee Snider, Robin Zander, Glenn Hughes, Joey Belladonna, Geoff Tate, , Tim “Ripper” Owens, Eric Martin, and dUg Pinnick. Producers Bob Kulick of KISS and Meat Loaf fame and Brett Chassen, recreated these songs on guitar and drums, respectively, rounded out by Billy Sheehan (bass) and Doug Katsaros (keyboards, orchestration). Also making an appearance as lead guitarist on “That’s Life” is renowned rock guitarist Richie Kotzen.

These familiar favorites are beloved the world over, but they’ve never been heard like this before!
“A fantastic CD,” says executive producer Wendy Dio, “keeping the era alive with today's musicians.”

Track Listing:
1.) New York, New York - Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad)
2.) I’ve Got You Under My Skin - Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple)
3.) Summerwind - Geoff Tate (Queensrÿche)
4.) It Was A Very Good Year - Dee Snider (Twisted Sister)
5.) Witchcraft - Tim “Ripper” Owens (Judas Priest, Iced Earth)
6.) Fly Me To The Moon - Robin Zander (Cheap Trick)
7.) Lady Is A Tramp - Eric Martin (Mr. Big)
8.) Strangers In The Night - Joey Belladonna (Anthrax)
9.) High Hopes - Franky Perez (Scars on Broadway)
10.) I’ve Got The World On A String - dUg Pinnick (King’s X)
11.) Love And Marriage - Elias Soriano (Nonpoint)
12.) That’s Life - Jani Lane (Warrant)
