Cathy Rankin Releases “Now You’ve Gone”

ByMark Leader

Singer and entertainment personality Cathy Rankin has released her debut single “Now You’ve Gone.” featuring David Ellefson (formerly of Megadeth and Ken Mary (formerly of Alice Cooper). The song is a power ballad that morphs into a guitar tour de force.

Rankin wrote the track as a tribute to the late legendary Rush drummer Neil Peart, whose music and lyrics were a huge influence on Rankin and her nephew, Christian, “a light in this world for the 18 years he was here.”

“The song is my way of expressing the void I felt when they were gone and connecting with others who have experienced similar feelings of loss,” offered Rankin.

“Ken (Mary) co-wrote and produced the track,” added Rankin “David (Ellefson) jumped on board, and everything just clicked.”
