CLEOPATRA TO RELEASE MEGA-WATT TRIBUTE ALBUM TO THE WHO; FEATURES IGGY POP, WAYNE KRAMER, JOE ELLIOTT, PETER NOONE, GRETCHEN WILSON

Los  Angeles, CA…On October 2, Cleopatra Records will release WHO ARE YOU:
AN ALL STAR TRIBUTE TO THE WHO.

As The Who approaches a nearly 50-year career,  artists in genres from classic to progressive rock, and from punk to country,  collaborate on a stunning celebration of the band’s remarkable catalogue.

The  Who have sold over 100 million records, had 27 Top 40 hits, 17 Top 10
albums,  and have been certified Gold (18 times), Platinum (12 times) and
Multi-Platinum  (5 times). They were inducted into the  Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, and have been described as one of the  greatest rock bands in
history by Rolling Stone, the Grammy Foundation, VH1, and  the Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts. Artists from Cheap Trick and Rush to Green Day
and Pearl Jam have counted  The Who as a primary influence. With such  weight
put on this legendary band’s musical output, the contributors to WHO ARE
YOU have brought every ounce of creativity, attitude, and reverence to the
collection.

Anything  can happen when you pair artists as diverse as K.K. Downing
(Judas Priest) with  John Wetton (Asia) and Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater), but
the album opens with  the trio’s impressive take on “Eminence Front.” A
punk-infused version of “My Generation” with Knox (The Vibrators), Dave
Davies (The Kinks), Rat Scabies (The Damned) proves both the music and message as timeless. Country superstar Gretchen  Wilson adds her powerhouse vocals to
the anthemic “Who Are You” with Randy  Bachman (BTO) on guitar. Also
featured on  WHO ARE YOU: AN ALL STAR TRIBUTE TO THE WHO are Iggy Pop, Sweet, Todd Rundgren,  and The Raveonettes and members of Def  Leppard, Deep Purple, Cream, King Crimson, MC5, Herman’s Hermits, Yes, The  Vibrators and more.
