The Red Rocker returns...

Not 4 Sale
Sammy Hagar
(33rd Street)
The Red Rocker is back with another great collection of hard rock tunes. The only real dog of a track is the Led Zep tribute 'Whole Lotta Zep". which is. quite frankly. pointless. The rest of the tracks are vintage Hagar, none more so than 'Thing've Changed' and 'Make it Alright'. 'The Big Nail' is a great slower rocker with harmonies that force one to see if Eddie is singing back-up. 'This is his best solo material since VH, but it still does not hold a candle to his 'I Can't Drive 55' era tracks. To add to the attraction, some version of the CD come with a free Cabo Wabo t-shirt to wear while relaxing with some Cabo Wabo tequila. One of his 3 solo albums? Maybe. Damn good hard rock album? Definitely. Like many a damn good CD, this one gets better with every play.

Tower records should have the cd/t-shirt combos. You might also be able to get one if you order the album of of www.towerrecords.com too.
Pretty good album. But then again, I work for the distributor, so I may be biased.
