Collective Soul released their highly anticipated 12th studio album Here to Eternity May 17th, the band’s first new music in two years. Released on their own label Fuzze-Flex Records, the album includes 20 brand new songs, including lead single “Mother’s Love,” which features Paul McCartney’s guitarist Brian Ray.
“I happened to be walkin’ down the street and I had met Brian Ray a couple of times,” Ed Roland said. “I saw him and was like, ‘Brian, hey man. Why don’t you come over and break bread? We’re up at Elvis’ house.’” The invite for a bite of grub turned into a session, of course. With a laugh, Ed Roland added, “I’m gettin’ pretty sneaky in my old age.”
Alongside Ray, other guests on the album include longtime Sheryl Crow bandleader Peter Stroud and Mickey Thomas of Jefferson Starship. Here to Eternity was written and produced by E. Roland and co-produced by Shawn Grove, and recorded at Elvis Presley’s estate in Palm Springs, CA. They’re the only other music artist to ever record at the historical landmark.
Here to Eternity is available everywhere you stream music, as a single disc CD, and as a limited-edition double-disc colored vinyl: https://found.ee/CollectiveSoulHereToEternity
The band is currently on tour with Hootie & the Blowfish, along with Edwin McCain for the “Summer Camp with Trucks Tour.”
