TURBULENT TIMES (180 GRAM CLEAR VINYL)

Hundred Watt Hearts the first solo outing from Kirk Douglas from the group, The Roots. The guitarist has been a member of the influential hip-hop group since 2003. But on May 24th, he''''ll release his first solo album, Turbulent Times, under the moniker Hundred Watt Heart. 'Releasing it now comes from just wanting to finish what I started and frankly overcoming my fears of what people are going to think about it. Occasionally people have asked if I would ever do my own record,' the 46-year old says. 'So, I guess this is for them if they are curious. Also, life is short and I''''m not getting any younger. I don''''t want to be 60 years old wondering what it would have been like if I had gotten over myself and released my own material.'
