Myles Kennedy, vocalist of Alter Bridge and frequent collaborator of guitarist Slash, launched his solo career in 2018 with Year of the Tiger, a stripped-back acoustic blues album that served as a concept record about his father's death in 1974, released on Napalm Records. The album departed significantly from the arena hard rock of his band projects and was widely praised by critics. He followed it with The Ides of March (2021) and The Art of Letting Go (2024), establishing a solo catalog that runs parallel to but distinct from his collaborative work.
