Paul Crook, Meat Loaf's longtime producer, music director and guitarist, has released Paradise Found: Bat Out of Hell Reignited, featuring Meat Loaf's official band, the Neverland Express, plus American Idol winner Caleb Johnson. The album is released through Deko Entertainment and Crook’s label, Crooked Media, LLC.
Paradise Found reimagines the sound, passion, and fury of the original Bat Out of Hell, the 1977 release by Meat Loaf and composer Jim Steinman which remains in the top five best-selling albums of all time. It includes all seven songs performed in their original order. The song arrangements have developed over decades of touring and now the listener can hear these re-envisioned versions.
Paradise Found features performances by world-class alumni of the Neverland Express including, Justin Avery, (keyboard, vocals), Tom Brislin (orchestration), Steve Buslowe (bass), Paul Crook (guitar), Randy Flowers (guitar), David Luther (saxophone), Lyssa Lynne (“Stop Right There!”), and John Miceli (drums). Caleb Johnson (American Idol winner, season 13) delivers powerful lead vocal performances across all seven songs.
“The music is timeless, and we play it virtually note for note. The wall of sound that fans experience when seeing us live is captured in this recording. Meat Loaf fans will be pleased. We’re hoping this release introduces Meat and Jim to a whole new fan base.”
