Hello everyone,
My name is AJ and I am the producer of the abovementioned tribute album. Though I am new to this forum, I am no stranger to the size acceptance community. I've attended countless BBW events and functions over the past 20 years and have even made my share of appearances on daytime talk television, extolling the virtues of loving the big, beautiful woman.
As a man who has dated such ladies his entire adult life, this album allowed me to combine two of my favorite things into one landmark project. A rock & roll tribute to the grace and beauty of the plus-sized woman is an idea whose time has surely come, and I wanted to be the one to make it happen. Supporting me in my efforts are members of some of rock's most legendary acts, along with some bona fide BBW talent.
I'm paying a visit today to let everyone know about this cool new project and to catch you up on what's been revealed so far. Beyond this, I hope to check in periodically with updates as new talent and songs are announced. If anybody has any comments on my efforts (pro or con), I welcome the chance to read and respond to them. This unique venture has been a labor of love for me over the past 18 months and I thank you all for allowing me to tell you about it. I very much hope you'll like what you see and hear.

"WHOLE LOTTA LOVE: An All-Star Salute To Fat Chicks" is a musical homage to the big, beautiful women who make the rockin' world go 'round. The tribute will feature all-new recordings of popular songs praising the fuller female figure, originally made famous by some of the biggest names in rock and pop music. These anthems to abundance will be performed by renowned rock & rollers from yesterday and today, along with a select few rising stars. In direct opposition to the "no fat chicks" mantra espoused by some, "WHOLE LOTTA LOVE" will be a star-studded celebration of large and lovely ladies.
Songs confirmed so far include Queen's arena rock classic "Fat Bottomed Girls" by L.A. Guns singer Phil Lewis, with guitarist Paul LaPlaca and drummer John Macaluso. Also on tap is a high-octane version of the AC/DC concert staple "Whole Lotta Rosie" by Rufus Fontain, featuring Cinderella guitarist Jeff LaBar and original Jackyl vocalist Ronnie Honeycutt. The Poison chart-topper "Unskinny Bop" is ably recreated by party rock outfit Evick, featuring members of the Bret Michaels Band. And the bass-heavy Spinal Tap dirge "Big Bottom" is given a 6-string revamp by Twisted Sister guitarist Eddie Ojeda and his Band of Steel. Plus-sized songstress Celisa Stratton brings all-new meaning to the title track "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin, in conjunction with veteran Quiet Riot drummer Frankie Banali and guitarist Alex Grossi. Additionally, rock & roll comic C.C. Banana offers up a faithful rendition of the Kiss track "Spit" (a.k.a. "Split"), featuring bassist David Z of ZO2 and guitarist Angus Clark. The album boasts an inspired cover by pop artist Les Toil, known for his bold and beautiful "big girl" pin-up art.
Additional artists and track listings will be announced as they are confirmed. Samples of all tracks are available at the official "WHOLE LOTTA LOVE" MySpace page.
