Dying to Live is the first full-length studio album by Joel Hoekstra's 13. It was released on October 16, 2015 by Frontiers Records.
American guitarist Joel Hoekstra is known as a member of the band Whitesnake and for being a former member of Night Ranger. He also contributed to the works of Trans-Siberian Orchestra and to the Broadway musical Rock of Ages. The album was originally announced as a collaboration of Hoekstra with vocalist Russell Allen ( Symphony X, Adrenaline Mob) on lead vocals, Vinny Appice (ex- Dio and ex- Black Sabbath) on drums and Tony Franklin (ex- Blue Murder, The Firm and ex-Whitesnake) on bass, with vocalist Jeff Scott Soto (of Talisman, W.E.T., Takara, Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force, Humanimal, Soul SirkUS, Axel Rudi Pell and Trans-Siberian Orchestra fame) on backing vocals. Later, Joel Hoekstra decided to record more tracks with Soto on lead vocals and add keyboard player Derek Sherinian to record a few solos. [1]
The album also features guest appearances by Toby Hitchcock ( Pride of Lions) and Chloe Lowery ( Trans-Siberian Orchestra). [2]
