Sammy Hagar sings “Birthday” for The Art of McCartney

Sammy lended his voice to the recently released compliation called "The Art of McCartney". As the name implies, this compilation showcases well-known songs from McCartney's career with tributes from many exceptionally talented artists, such as Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, the Cure, & Kiss. 

Sammy contributed his voice to the 42 track collection by singing "Birthday" and says he's still a "little shocked" that he was asked to participate in the first place. On getting into the album, Sammy mentioned in a Rolling Stone interview, "I've thrown a birthday party in Cabo every year for 25 years, so I'm pretty much a birthday celebration guy. "Birthday" is a good screamer and nice fit for my voice, and the guitar riff is really nice."
