Appice has released \u201cUnited States,\u201d a track recorded five years ago that features drum work he laid down at the request of the late Rick Derringer. The song sat unfinished until last week, when Appice reached out to Derringer\u2019s wife Jenda to hear it again.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"United States - Rick Derringer (Feat.

Appice remembered loving the track from the first listen, and after revisiting it, he brought in Pat Regan to remaster the song properly. From there, he turned to Dom Esposito to put together a video quickly enough to release the track in time for the country\u2019s 250th anniversary celebration. The timing carries extra weight given that Derringer, who played guitar on classics spanning decades of rock history, passed away last year.<\/p>\n<p>Appice and Jenda Derringer worked together on the accompanying video, turning the release into a tribute that honors both Rick Derringer\u2019s legacy and the milestone anniversary itself. It\u2019s a fitting way to mark both occasions at once, blending a personal remembrance with a national celebration.<\/p>\n<p>Appice and his band Cactus have also released a new video for \u201cBack Door Man,\u201d pulled from their latest album \u2018Temple Of Blues II,\u2019 out now on Cleopatra Records. The track features guest performances from Eric Gales and Billy Sheehan alongside Appice, bringing serious blues firepower to the recording.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack Door Man\u201d is a blues standard that first appeared on Howlin\u2019 Wolf\u2019s self-titled \u201cElectric Album.\u201d Appice explained that while \u2018Temple Of Blues I\u2019 was built entirely from original Cactus material, this second volume takes a more direct approach to the genre\u2019s roots. Cactus recorded seven songs from that same Howlin\u2019 Wolf album for the project, an album that also gave the band their breakout hit \u201cEvil\u201d decades ago. Among those seven tracks, Appice has said \u201cBack Door Man\u201d stood out as one of the strongest in the batch.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.thatericalper.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some songs sit in a vault for years waiting for the right moment to arrive.
