Chickenfoot III is the second studio album by American hard rock band Chickenfoot, released on September 27, 2011.[1] Despite the title, it is not actually the band's third album; other rumored titles that were mentioned include Chickenfoot IV (four). The first pressing of the album was packaged with a 3-D cover; it was later nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Recording Package at the 2012 ceremony.[5]

Production

edit

The band began to record the album back in April 2010, when they had some free time. They demoed four unnamed songs and put one of them in a video describing the A.M.P.F. technology (which stands for "Audio Musical Performance Fidelity").[6]

On July 8, 2011, the band posted a new video online of the first teaser of one of the songs from the new album with this message included in the video: "Attention Foot Soldiers. Get Your Boots On. September 27, 2011."[7]
