New Cactus should be bluesy. The album, titled Tightrope and due out April 2 through Cleopatra Records, is the first from the long-running, been-through-many-iterations-but-is-this-now-and-hey-that’s-cool classic ’70s heavy rockers. No doubt there’s some primo boogie and and they’ve got a few choice covers to boot, and right on for the Jim McCarty guest spot as drummer Carmine Appice leads the band from behind the kid. It’s been six years since the band issued their most recent LP, Black Dawn, and while that’s by no means the longest stretch of their career, it’s significant just the same and it’ll be interesting to hear what they came up with during lockdown.

CACTUS RETURNS WITH NEW STUDIO ALBUM: TIGHTROPE

‘70s classic rock legends Cactus 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. Now the band have returned with a smashing new album called Tightrope that strikes a delicate balance between powerful, driving rockers and more complex, heady album tracks. Still led by iconic drummer Carmine Appice alongside long-time 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. 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. Tightrope will also give long-time Cactus fans a reason to cheer as it includes special guest appearances from original Cactus guitarist Jim McCarty and singer Phil Naro!

Tightrope will be available on digipak CD, a deluxe 2LP set with a gatefold jacket and colored vinyl, and of course digital platforms everywhere starting April 2 courtesy of Cleopatra Records!
