Origins Vol. 1 is the fifth studio album by American guitarist Ace Frehley, released on April 13, 2016 in Japan and April 15 in the United States.[6] It is a covers album which features guest appearances from Slash, Lita Ford, John 5, Mike McCready, and Frehley's former Kiss bandmate Paul Stanley. The album was announced on February 11, 2016.

Album information[edit]

In addition to covers of tracks by Cream and Thin Lizzy, Origins Vol. 1 features newly recorded versions of several Kiss songs which were written but not sung by Frehley, such as "Cold Gin" and "Parasite", as well as a new version of the Kiss song "Rock and Roll Hell" from the Creatures of the Night album, which he never performed on, as he was leaving the band at the time.[7]

In a 2016 interview with The Pods & Sods Network, Ace described other songs that were considered, recorded and about plans for Origins Vol. 2.[8]

Reception[edit]

The album entered the Billboard 200 chart at number 23 selling 16,113 in its first week, but totaling 16,386 copies including streams and tracks.[9]
