For me, everything’s always been about making music and writing songs – but not to be famous. We’re just trying to find ourselves, after all. – Steve Lee, 2010

How do you honor a legend? Someone, who has become immortal through his songs, his voice, and his nature – and ten years after the tragic accident, is still vivid in the hearts of friends, colleagues, and fans. What do you say about a singer among the world’s finest of his genre, who never lost touch with the real world? It’s only possible with music. With The Eyes Of A Tiger, Gotthard bow to their frontman. The band release this album as a tribute after discovering these previously unheard recordings of Lee’s last ever session. From One Life One Soul to Heaven and Lift U Up, many of their finest tunes are reworked here in deliciously fragile unplugged form, Lee’s voice sounding spookily sublime (his successor, Nic Meader, is also present in the background). We have two unreleased tracks – among them the eponymous Eye Of The Tiger in two different takes – as well as ten stripped-down versions of well-known songs: performed by Gotthard – sung by Steve Lee.
