BILLY MORRISON’S ‘PROJECT’

Guitarist Billy Morrison has one helluva resume. He’s performed and/or recorded with quite an array of rock and roll luminaries. He has played guitar alongside Steve Stevens in Billy Idol’s band. He has toured with The Cult as their bassist.

He is in numerous side projects with Jane’s Addiction’s Dave Navarro. He is the ultimate collaborator, too. But his latest endeavor, the solo album The Morrison Project (The Label Group), has choice musical collaborations with the likes of Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes fame, Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor, guitar maestro Steve Vai, Idol and crew and longtime best friend Ozzy Osbourne. The Osbourne track in particular is the most potent — a love-gone-bad, all-out rocker called “Crack Cocaine.” Goldmine recently spoke to Morrison about the experience of recording this new solo album.
