Savatage guitarist Chris Caffery has checked in with the following update:
“I am finally back home and have some time to focus on my new solo release before we head back to Europe with Savatage in June.”
Since my last single prior to ‘Last Time’ was released on May Day, I figured it would be fitting to place the pre-sale for personally autographed CD’s and LP’s on May Day as well. My store at chriscaffery.com will be the only place you can order the personally signed copies. As of now they will only be for USA sales. I can work on doing some international, I just want to warn everyone if that happens the shipping costs are $20 more. As of now we are just placing USA pre-sale.
Thanks again for your support. I am so excited to finally have an LP! I grew up listening to LP’s as a kid and this will be a very special moment when I hold my first solo LP ever in my hands!”
Caffery recently released the new single, “Last Time”. The song is taken from the upcoming collection, 20 Years Of The Music Man, which will be released internationally on June 13 via Metalville Records.
“Last Time” is one of the last unreleased tracks from the huge amount of songs Chris Caffery recorded at the time of the Faces sessions. It’s a song about not allowing others to take advantage of you and for you to control your own destiny. There comes a time in your life when you either grab the bull by the horns and enter the ring by yourself or you keep being the rodeo clown.
The official lyric video for “Last Time” can be seen below.
With 20 Years Of The Music Man, the Savatage and Trans-Siberian Orchestra guitarist presents a very personal selection of 21 songs from his successful solo career, which has now spanned two decades. The compilation includes songs from his previous solo albums as well as rare and unreleased tracks that Chris considers too important not to make available to the fans.
Chris says about his selection, “In 2004, I released my first solo record. I wasn’t sure what to expect; I just knew I wanted to make some music on my own. It was a time when I had a lot of questions, not only about myself but where certain parts of my life were heading. The ‘Music Man’ in me decided to use my energy positively. I spent 20 years writing and recording and expressing myself to you. This new release contains some of your favorite songs as well as mine. There are also some unreleased songs and a brand new one, as well.
“I’d like to thank all of the amazing musicians, engineers, and producers who participated on these recordings with me.
“I dedicate this to all of you, my friends. Also to my mentor in heaven who believed in me from the earliest days of my career, Mr. Paul O’Neill, and a special dedication to my mom, who remained my best friend and supporter through all of my rollercoaster rides these past couple decades.
“Thank you all for being a part of my journey and I look forward to continuing the next 20 years and beyond!”
