Hands Without Shadows

Hands Without Shadows is Michael Angelo Batio's most ambitious work to date featuring guest appearances by Mark Tremonti of Alter Bridge and Creed, Rudy Sarzo of Ozzy, Whitesnake and Quiet Riot, Doug Marks, founder of Metal Method, virtuoso guitarist Bill Peck and more. Bobby Rock played drums on the entire CD. The primary bassist William Kopecky is a 6 string and fretless virtuoso. Chris Djuricic engineered and mixed the CD, Dean Guitars graphic designer Stephen Jensen designed the "HWS" artwork and the disc was mastered by Trevor Sadler. Batio included some of his new songs plus his versions of some of the best rock songs of the past - to pay tribute to some of the legendary rock guitar greats like Jimmy Page ('Zeppelin Forever"), Randy Rhoads ("Tribute to Randy"), Jimi Hendrix ("All Along the Watchtower") and more. The CD is cohesive and has a central theme, sound and continuous atmosphere from beginning to end - Hands Without Shadows is Batio's uncompromising vision.
