Mr. Rock Vocalist is the tenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Eric Martin, released on October 10, 2012, exclusively in Japan by Sony Music Japan. The album features English-language covers of songs by Japanese hard rock bands (as opposed to female-oriented Japanese ballads like the previous Mr. Vocalist albums), as well as two original songs featured in the pachinko game CR Virtua Fighter Revolution.[1] It is the final album in the Mr. Vocalist series.
