Country rocker Tim Montana has announced a new album titled Entire State of Tim Montana, arriving July 31st via BMG, and it features an all-star roster of guests including Slash, Jerry Cantrell, and actor Charlie Sheen, among others.
Along with announcing the new album, Montana has released the single “Brown Sugar,” a cover of a 1971 ZZ Top song featuring Slash and ZZ Top frontman Billy Gibbons himself.
“Recording ‘Brown Sugar’ with Billy F Gibbons and Slash was a full-circle moment for me,” stated Montana. “My first brush with music was finding a Guns N’ Roses tape, and later I became a die-hard ZZ Top fan.”
He added, “Billy is like family, and seeing him play ‘Brown Sugar’ at our Wise River Club made me realize it had to be the one. To have these childhood heroes, Billy, who’s become a mentor, and Slash, who lit that early spark on this track with me is beyond a dream.”
Elsewhere, Alice in Chains’ Cantrell guests on the song “Kinda Like It,” while Charlie Sheen appears on the leadoff track “Courtroom” alongside his father Martin Sheen and Terminator actor Robert Patrick (brother of Filter’s Richard Patrick).
Interestingly, Montana recently attempted to auction off a tour bus that he purchased from Charlie Sheen. The highest bid was $84,525, but the reserve wasn’t met.
