Vixen bassist Julia Lage has premiered a new video for her new song “The Ride.” That track features vocals from Doug “Dug” Pinnick (King’s X), guitar from Richie Kotzen (The Winery Dogs), and drums from Michael Odabashian.
Lage commented:
“I had this song written for a long time, and when I was working on finishing it, I would always hear in my head Doug Pinnick’s voice on it. Once I finally asked him if he would be kind enough to add his magic and he said yes, I felt like the happiest girl alive. I am a huge fan of his and respect his work so much. Richie Kotzen was also a no-brainer. I needed the guitars sounding a certain way and for the solo I knew he was the perfect musician to do it.
Richie is so incredibly talented. I remember he sat in the studio and tracked the solo in two takes because the first was to learn the song. Second take he was done. And it is so good!
I feel blessed to have both sharing the song with me and I truly hope that people always remember that if they feel stuck or unmotivated, they can go ahead and change their reality. Your journey might be crazy wild or lonely, but it is yours.
I hope you enjoy ‘The Ride’!”
