Full details have been announced about Sammy Hagar’s latest solo album, an acoustic collection titled Lite Roast, which will be released on October 13.

The 11-track disc features unplugged renditions of songs from throughout the Red Rocker’s career, recorded with guitar and vocal accompaniment from Vic Johnson of Hagar’s longtime backing group The Wabos.

Lite Roast includes versions of a pair of classic Van Halen tunes, “Dreams” and “Finish What Ya Started,” as well as stripped-down renditions of tunes that appeared on the following Hagar solo efforts: 1987’s I Never Said Goodbye, 1997’s Marching to Mars, 1999’s Red Voodoo, 2000’s Ten 13, 2006’s Livin’ It Up and 2013’s Sammy Hagar & Friends.

Sammy recently told ABC News Radio that the inspiration behind Lite Roast came to him while rehearsing for the star-studded Acoustic-4-a-Cure benefit concert he and Metallica’s James Hetfield organized earlier this year in San Francisco.

“Working up that set for myself, I learned how to play and sing acoustically, and I loved it so much I just took a bunch of my old songs and made a record,” Hagar explained.  “It’s an acoustically brewed CD.”

He added about the unplugged versions of his tunes, “Some of them I think are better than they’ve ever been like this.”

On Wednesday, October 1, Hagar and Johnson played a free acoustic set featuring songs from the new record at the Sammy’s Island Bar & Grill franchise in Roseville, California.  Parts of the concert were filmed for a television special that will raise money for the community of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, which was severely damaged last month by Hurricane Odile.

Here is the full track list of Lite Roast:

“Red Voodoo” (from Red Voodoo)
“One Sip” (from Livin’ It Up!)
“Finish What Ya Started” (from Van Halen’s OU812)
“Eagles Fly” (from I Never Said Goodbye)
“The Love” (from Red Voodoo)
“Father Son” (from Sammy Hagar & Friends)
“Dreams” (from Van Halen’s 5150)
“Deeper Kinda Love” (from Ten 13)

Roger Walters left Pink Floyd nearly 30 years ago, but some people apparently never got the memo.

In a post on Facebook, Waters says he wants fans to know he has nothing to do with the upcoming Pink Floyd album, The Endless River.

In the post Waters writes, “Some people have been asking Laurie, my wife, about a new album I have coming out in November. Errhh? I don’t have an album coming out, they are probably confused.”

Waters, who left the group as a result of creative differences, goes on to explain, “David Gilmour and Nick Mason have an album coming out. It’s called Endless River. David and Nick constitute the group Pink Floyd. I on the other hand, am not part of Pink Floyd. I left Pink Floyd in 1985, that’s 29 years ago.”

“I had nothing to do with either of the Pink Floyd studio albums, Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell, nor the Pink Floyd tours of 1987 and 1994, and I have nothing to do with Endless River,” Waters explains, adding “Phew! This is not rocket science people, get a grip.”

The Endless River is a collection of tracks that have been reworked from the 1993 sessions for The Division Bell. Mason has described the new album as a “tribute” to Pink Floyd keyboard player Rick Wright, who died in 2008.  The Endless River will be available November 10.
