Streetchild Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Quote Myles Kennedy / Releases first song from ‘The Ides Of March’ Myles Kennedy has told MetalTalk that he will release his second solo album ‘The Ides Of March’ this 14 May, via Napalm Records. Today he has released the first song ‘In Stride’, a track built around his slide playing. The album is set to showcase Myles’ love of Rock, Blues and Country music and looks to be another classic which has been inspired by and created during this COVID-19 crisis. ‘In Stride’ has Myles delivering a “take it all in stride” message. Myles told MetalTalk: “Chill out. That pretty much sums it up. “The lyric paints a picture of a survivalist preparing for an impending zombie apocalypse. It was inspired by the first wave of lockdowns as everyone was buying vast amounts of toilet paper and supplies. “I started to ask myself if it might be wise to try and gain some perspective and not overreact… keep calm and carry on.” Kennedy created the structure for the songs and then worked with friend and drummer Zia Uddin and bassist/manager Tim Tournier. The three recorded the album in Florida with longtime producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette. The album features the title track ‘The Ides Of March’, which clocks in at over seven minutes. The Ides Of March: 1) Get Along 2) A Thousand Words 3) In Stride 4) The Ides Of March 5) Wake Me When It’s Over 6) Love Rain Down 7) Tell It Like It Is 8) Moonshot 9) Wanderlust Begins 10) Sifting Through The Fire 11) Worried Mind Available formats – Digital Album – 1 CD Jewel Case – 1 CD Digipack (Napalm mailorder, limited to 500 worldwide) – 2 LP Gatefold Black Vinyl – 2 LP Gatefold Grey Vinyl (RoW only) – 2 LP Gatefold Bottle Green Transparent Vinyl (Napalm mailorder, limited to 400 worldwide) – Die Hard Limited Edition: 2 LP Gatefold Clear Splatter Mint/Violet/White Vinyl + Aluminium Print (Napalm mailorder, limited to 300 worldwide) – Limited Deluxe Box: Glow In The Dark Vinyl + Cover Artprint + 7” Glow In The Dark “A Thousand Words” Vinyl Demo Single + Pendant + Slipmat (Napalm mailorder, limited to 700 worldwide) https://www.metaltalk.net/myles-kennedy-releases-first-song-from-the-ides-of-march.php Anyone else looking forward to this?

Must have been an issue to prevent that, as any person with any sense or logic would want it to be released on that day, It's a good song. I also wonder what Guns N' Roses' Ides Of March sounds like. Axl confirmed that song exists in 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ides of March is acknowledged/celebrated on March 15th, it's sort of a holiday.

It might be Axl on the piano 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I used Google, and answered my own question. Seems Circus Maximus is related to Rome and thus Ides of March. Nice catch!
