Myles Kennedy Performs ‘Year of the Tiger’ and a Cover of Elton John’s ‘Levon’
“Elton John was a big one for me as a kid, ” he said on Octane. “I remember being drawn to his music.”
Myles Kennedy is considered one of the best vocalists of his genre, giving songs by Alter Bridge and Slash some turbo power. With his debut solo record, “Year of the Tiger,” Kennedy expands on that driving rock sound by incorporating a variety of other genre influences, such as Americana, blues, and country.
During a visit to the SiriusXM studios, Kennedy showed off his new music with an exclusive, stripped-down performance for Octane. It featured the album’s titular single, where he gets personal about the ripple effects of his father’s death, and a cover of Elton John’s 1971 single “Levon,” which Kennedy noted is one of his favorite songs of all time.
“Elton John was a big one for me as a kid, ” he said. “I remember being drawn to his music.”
