The seeds of the Mutual Appreciation Society were planted a long time ago, back in 1972 to be precise. A young Sterling Ball was introduced to the sound of Albert Lee by his father, Ernie Ball. This new record features an array of incredible guests; Steve Lukather (Toto), Steve Morse (Deep Purple, Dixie Dregs, Kansas), John Petrucci (Dream Theater), Albert Lee and Steve Vai. What was initially supposed to be a record by just Sterling Ball and John Ferraro turned into the Mutual Admiration Society. An unintended celebration of up to forty years of friends making music together.
