Ace Frehley (ex-KISS) has revealed that he is planning to release his new covers album “Origins Vol. 2” in October. The effort will feature covers of Led Zeppelin’s “Good Times Bad Times,” The Rolling Stones’ “Jumping Jack Flash,” Humble Pie’s “30 Days In The Hole,” and more.

Frehley told Long Island, New York’s News 12 the following:

“I’ve done five albums [in the past decade]. And ‘Origins Vol. 2’ is done. It’s just being mixed. That’ll be out in October. So there’s a lot of stuff going on.”

He also talked about the effort with The Weekender:

“I’m really excited about ‘Origins Vol. 2’. It’s surpassed my expectations. I got Lita Ford singing ‘Jumping Jack Flash’, and she’s amazing. She came to my home and I coached her for two days with vocals and she just [expletive] killed it. I also have Robin Zander singing ’30 Days In The Hole’ by Humble Pie. I really wanted to do the Humble Pie song, but I just couldn’t cut it, vocally, because [Steve] Marriott’s just too good of a goddamn singer. I just couldn’t do justice to his vocals. But I remembered that I had bumped into Robin Zander years ago at a meet-and-greet and he had mentioned to me that he’d like to sing on one of my upcoming records, so I remembered that and gave him a call. And he killed it as well. He sounds like a young Marriott.”
