about

Frehley has returned to Earth orbit a lot sooner than usual with a new record entitled Origins Vol. 1. It pays tribute to Hendrix and the other legendary artists who inspired him to begin his own musical journey with powerful, energetic covers of songs like Jimi’s “Spanish Castle Magic” and Led Zeppelin’s “Bring it on Home.”

The cover of Origins Vol. 1prominently displays many famous landmarks of the New York City skyline (surrounded by UFOs, of course), a fitting tribute to the place where Frehley’s incredible life story began. He grew up in a rough section of the Bronx. Despite demonstrating early aptitudes in everything from academics to art to athletics, Ace quickly realized that music, not school or running with the “greaser gangs” in his neighborhood, would be his ticket to a better life.

Elsewhere on Origins Vol. 1, Ace reclaims “Cold Gin” and “Parasite” from the Kiss catalog by singing the lead vocals on both for the first time ever. He also teams up with McCready, Slash, Lita Ford and Rob Zombie guitarist John 5 on supercharged covers of Thin Lizzy’s “Emerald” and the Troggs’ “Wild Thing.”

“I’m really thrilled with the whole thing,” says Frehley, who indicates a second Origins volume could be headed our way sometime in the future. “I’m excited about it, and I think there’s a song on here for everyone.”
