Sebastian Bach, the lead singer of Skid Row and recently crowned king of "Gone Country 2," is the latest former-rocker and crossover artist to enter the waters of country music. He has just had his new single "Battle With The Bottle" released to country music and his new video released on CMT. This single was the song Bach played in the finale and while it was good enough to put him over the top in this reality television series, I would imagine it would have very little chance to do well as country radio- as much as it would be fun to hear a somewhat upbeat crossover tune- ala "All Summer Long" from Kid Rock- this mellow tune is missing a hook to give it much of go.For those that weren’t following the rock scene back in the late 80’s and early 90’s, Skid Row was an American Glam Rock band. Their first self-titled album was certified 10x Platinum and the album spawned the top 10 singles "18 and Life" and "I Remember You" and the Mainstream rock hit "Youth Gone Wild". It is the bands' most commercially successful album.
You can see the new video here on CMT.
