Joel Hoekstra's 13's new studio album DYING TO LIVE is out today, October 16th. Frontiers Music Srl. recently hosted the world premiere of the third single on their Facebook. Watch it below!

"Long For The Days is a song about reflection and regret over a relationship gone badly," explains Hoekstra. "It's a good old-fashioned, classic-rock style track that captures elements of some of my favorite bands (I'll let you figure them out!). Vinny Appice (drums) and Tony Franklin (bass) lay it down while Derek Sherinian (keys) provides the right sounds and parts with tasteful perfection. Russell Allen delivers one of my favorite vocal performances EVER and Jeff Scott Soto sings some amazing backgrounds to support them. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing/recording it!"

Orders are available on Amazon (CD & MP3) and iTunes (MP3). All MP3 pre-orders include instant downloads of "Long For The Days" as well as "Until I Left You" and "Anymore" (featuring Russell Allen).

Dying To Live features an all-star cast of rockers including Jeff Scott Soto (vocals), Russell Allen (vocals), Tony Franklin (bass),Vinny Appice (drums), and Derek Sherinian (keyboards), and will be available via Frontiers Music SRL on Friday, October 16th.
