    Tony Iommi, Ian Gillan Release Album Together

    Last year, rock heavyweights Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) and Ian Gillan
    (Deep Purple) teamed up to form WhoCares and release a pair of songs
    to raise funds to rebuild a music school in Armenia. Now, the
    guitarist and singer have set a release date - June 22 - for an entire
    WhoCares album.

    The album will feature the two WhoCares tracks (which also feature
    Jason Newsted, Nicko McBrain, Linde Lindstrom and Jon Lord), along
    with rarities from Iommi and Gillan's vaults. Other songs include a
    Deep Purple studio jam, an unreleased song from Gillan's band Repo
    Depo, two unreleased songs from Iommi and Glenn Hughes, b-sides and
    radio performances.

    "As I said once in the song "Razzle Dazzle" - "It's a real fine line
    between an orgy of destruction and a wonderful time," Gillan said.
    "The destruction of conformity in this case: Some of these pieces
    never really fit into their contemporary program and got sidelined or
    forgotten, and some of the album tracks never had much exposure. As
    the tracklisting for this album came together I noticed many of the
    titles had character similarities; a combination of freshness as they
    finally felt the sun on their backs and rebellion in a "yeah told you
    so" kind of way. And that adds up to a wonderful time. And that adds
    up to more money for the music school we are building in Armenia."

    Thanks for the report to Gibson.com.
