Formed in 1970 from the ashes of VANILLA FUDGE by Carmine Appice and Tim Bogert, the initial lineup also featured McCarty and vocalist Rusty Day. “Tightrope” will also give longtime CACTUS fans a reason to cheer as it includes special guest appearances from original CACTUS guitarist Jim McCarty and singer Phil Naro.ĬACTUS has had a long and turbulent history.
From playing to production and songs, we really took a step up.” They are joined by new lead guitarist/vocalist Paul Warren (ex- Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Joe Cocker) and James Caputo on bass. Still led by iconic drummer Carmine Appice alongside longtime members Jimmy Kunes on vocals and Randy Pratt on harmonica, “Tightrope” is, according to Appice, “one of the best CACTUS albums we’ve ever done. Now the band has returned with a smashing new album called “Tightrope” that strikes a delicate balance between powerful, driving rockers and more complex, heady album tracks.
The effort will be made available on digipak CD, a deluxe 2LP set with a gatefold jacket and colored vinyl, and, of course, digital platforms everywhere.ĬACTUS came to be known as “the American LED ZEPPELIN,” a moniker they owned by virtue of their explosive blues rock stylings, subdued yet undeniably brilliant musicianship, not to mention their energetic and vivacious stage presence which made them a staple of arena rock venues around the globe. ’70s classic rock legends CACTUS will release their new album, “Tightrope”, on April 2 via Cleopatra Records.
