Put together by renowned studio musician Bob Kulick (best known to Kiss fans as the brother of Bruce Kulick, and as a guest guitarist on numerous Kiss albums), HEAVY HITTERS puts Schenker together with quite a few notable names from both the heavy metal and classic rock genres. Featured are covers of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" (featuring Tim "Ripper" Owens on vocals), Pink Floyd's "Money" (with Tommy Shaw), Mountain's "Blood of the Sun" (with Leslie West), and Nazareth's "Hair of the Dog" (with Paul Di'Anno). Also featured are a pair of tracks that are "Schenker related"--a cover of UFO's classic "Doctor Doctor," while former MSG singer Gary Barden reunites with Schenker on a cover of Gary Moore and Phil Lynott's "Out in the Fields." While longtime fans would undoubtedly rather have had a new studio album by the Michael Schenker Group, HEAVY HITTERS is your typical fun cover set, which at times serves as a glimpse into Schenker's musical roots. Michael Schenker, the founder member of The Scorpions and guitarist extraordinaire of UFO has come up with another classic album with his band MSG. This time he has recorded with some great names of rock, resulting in a unique sound that once again displays this guitar virtuoso's talent. These tracks were recorded in the USA featuring great musicians and vocalists and produced by Bob Kulick and Brett Chasen forming a formidable team around a formidable genius. Re-released in 2014 as "Blood of the Sun" with 4 extra tracks. It also included again "All Shook Up" with Joe Lynn Turner on vocals.
