Child Within The Man was recorded in Orlando, Florida; produced and mixed by Baskette; engineered by Jef Moll, assistant engineered by Josh Saldate; and mastered by Robert Ludwig/Gateway Mastering. BACHwrote or co-wrote all the album’s 11 tracks and sang all lead and backing vocals. Child Within The Man features guest appearances from John 5, Steve Stevens, and Orianthi—who all co-wrote their respective tracks with BACH—and two tracks co-written with Myles Kennedy(‘What Do I Got to Lose?’ and ‘To Live Again’); Devin Bronson on guitars, Todd Kerns (bass) and Jeremy Coulson (drums) round out the players on the album. The album is available on CD (Jewelcase), cassette and double LP in a variety of color options. The album artwork holds special meaning since it was designed by BACH’s father, noted visual artist David Bierk. “This album artwork was started in 1978 and finished in 2024!” SEBASTIAN says.
Here’s some initial critical feedback for the album:
“Sebastian Bach’s latest solo album, ‘Child Within The Man,’ is a reminder that every once in a while, a man and a moment meet…the vintage-sounding album has everything that made Bach a force…it shows a fierce performer in prime fighting form…his vocals remain sharp and his songwriting talents as cunning as ever.”
—ASSOCIATED PRESS (5/8)
“That voice, that persona, just screams ‘rock star’, […] thankfully, and despite its introspective-sounding title, Child Within The Man is Bach at full force”
