John 5 is set to release his new solo album, “Ghost”, on October 10. Produced by Barry Pointer, the LP’s second single, “Deviant”, features drummer Stephen Perkins and bassist Bryan Beller of THE ARISTOCRATS. The track follows the earlier singles “Hollywood Story” and “Fiend”.
John 5 comments: “‘Ghost’ is perhaps my proudest achievement to date. To me, the meaning of life is doing what you love. And this is what I love. I am surrounded by ghosts in my life and I needed to honor them with this album. It is what I was meant to do.
“I’m so happy to have had some incredibly talented friends join me on this album. On ‘Deviant’, Stephen Perkins’s drums helped bring the track to life. And having the great Bryan Beller on bass… you can’t get much better than that.”
