2022 release. For fans of Bob Dylan, The Band, Americana, and Folk. The most famous anonymous singer in America Joe Cerisano (TSO/Silver Condor) and hit songwriter Marc Blatte (The Four Tops, Celine Dion, Kenny Rogers) have teamed up for The Distant Thunder. This duo is not only responsible for "Hand Across America" but the most iconic commercials (GE, Army, Navy, Sprite, Miller) you have ever heard. Now they have come together and created an amazing slice of Americana with stand out tracks like "Healing Hands" and "I'd Rather Be Dancing". Joe started his career on Columbia Records with Silver Condor alongside David Bowie/John Lennon guitarist Earl Slick. He went on to do duets with Gloria Estefan and Placido Domingo as well as guest vocalist with Blue Oyster Cult, Korn and fronted Trans Siberian Orchestra. Marc has penned the Top 40 song "When She Was My Girl" by The Four Tops as well as songs by Celine Dion and Kenny Rogers. The Distant Thunder strips it all down for a real rootsy American album filled with emotion and heart wrenching lyrics. I'm blown away by what these two have cooked up. -Dave Fields (Big City Rhythm & Blues magazine)
