“Doing A Solo Record Is The Opportunity To Show Every Aspect Of Who You Are”

Bumblefoot will be releasing his newest instrumental album, “Bumblefoot… Returns!” on January 24th via Bumblefoot Music LLC.

“Bumblefoot… Returns!” is a triumphant album that showcases the immense talent and musical ability of guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal. From the very first track, “Simon in Space,” it’s clear that Bumblefoot has poured his heart and soul into crafting a dynamic, diverse, and captivating sonic experience. The album was created during the pandemic and takes listeners on a thrilling journey through various musical landscapes, from hard-hitting metal riffs to a toe-tapping country tune, all tied together by his signature guitar wizardry.

Standout tracks like the explosive “Planetary Lockdown,” the majestic catchiness of “Cintaku,” and the upbeat country “Moonshine Hootenanny” showcase his range and versatility as a composer and performer.

The depth and groove of his playing give the album a distinctive edge, setting it apart from his previous solo work. There are all-star collaborations, including legendary Queen guitarists Brian May on “Once in Forever” and Steve Vai on “Monstruoso,” which adds an extra layer of excitement to the collection of songs. Throughout the 14-track odyssey, Bumblefoot‘s passion, energy, and mastery of his craft shine through.
