Jason Charles Miller, lead singer of the rock band
GODHEAD, will issue his first solo album on October 27. Titled
"Last To Go Home", the five-song EP will be released on his own label,
Count Mecha Music, and retail on
iTunes and most major digital outlets for only $4.95.
Featuring guest performances by
Motown legend
Brenda Lee Eager (
DIANA ROSS,
SMOKEY ROBINSON,
RAY CHARLES,
STEVIE WONDER) and classical concert cellist
Tina Guo,
"Last To Go Home" showcases
Jason Charles Miller as he's never been heard before.
A departure from his work at the helm of industrial-rock innovators
GODHEAD,
"Last To Go Home" introduces a softer side to
Miller's personality, one where he unplugs his soul on songs that are carried by nothing more than evocative vocals and stripped-down acoustics.
Drawing on influences including
JOHNNY CASH,
MERLE HAGGARD and
KRIS KRISTOFFERSON, the five original songs are written and produced by
Miller, and blur the lines between Americana, alt-country, singer-songwriters and folk music.
