20th Anniversary of his Classic Release LET LOVE RULE
 |
Lenny Kravitz, one of the preeminent rock musicians of our time, has announced he will be kicking off an exclusive run of intimate shows in the U.S. to commemorate the 20th anniversary of his classic debut release Let Love Rule. The 15-city tour will culminate in Kravitz headlining the Voodoo Experience Festival in New Orleans, LA on November 1. The writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist’s tour is bound to captivate audiences with his signature style – music carrying echoes of past eras, combining classic rock, old-school soul, gritty funk and confectionary ’60s pop, yet always boasting an urgency and craftsmanship reflective of modern times. With close to 40 million records sold worldwide, Kravitz’s exclusive U.S. tour will include material from throughout his over 20 year career.
20 years ago, Lenny Kravitz wrote, recorded and produced his iconic debut album, Let Love Rule, striking a chord around the world and propelling him to international stardom. The title song’s signature line, “It’s time to take a stand, Brothers and Sisters join hands” is a theme Kravitz feels is still relevant to this day, and he is harnessing this message of hope, taking it on tour with him.
To commemorate the 20th Anniversary of his incendiary, Kravitz and Virgin/EMI collaborated to create an expanded 2 CD and digital reissue featuring a newly remastered original album, plus 18 bonus tracks, including 13 previously unreleased demos, rare B-sides, and live recordings. The special set was released in May of 2009. In support of the release, Kravitz launched his “LLR 20 (09) Tour,” a massive 54 city tour of Europe. Along the way, the tour hit 17 countries across the continent.
Kravitz will now be taking his LLR 20 (09) stateside for this exclusive run of U.S. club dates.
