The new album will be titled "Blender" and the lucky person who named the album was K.C. Smith !
The new album is due out in September and will feature the new song Prick as Ed said wrote it about their lack of communication with their record label. Some more album news, Elton John has recorded a song with the band, and Lajon Witherspoon of the Atlanta band Sevendust will also be making a guest appearance on one of the tracks. The song Over Tokyo from Ed Roland's Solo CD, Ed E Roland had been redone and will be featured on the new album.
For those of you who love Collective Soul's cover of Crazy Train, the band retired it in Atlanta and was the last time it will be played. They did however bring it out of retirement the next day at the Memphis show to play it again. On the other hand, for those of you who are Pink Floyd fans, you will like the new song they have decide to cover. Mother was introduced and it was a big hit judging by the reaction of the crowd.
Pictures from Music Midtown will also be added to the site. Look for those towards the end of this week and the first part of next.
