Sammy Hagar & Friends After four decades thrilling fans and audiences alike as one of the
great American rock entertainers, Sammy Hagar has recorded new tracks
and put a Hagar-like slant on a couple of absolute towering monsters in
which the devotees and aficionados will be knocking themselves out for
to have as part of the collection. After great and deserved success with
bands such as the enormous fantastic Chickenfoot and the iconic Van
Halen, Sammy Hagar & Friends relishes in the man’s ability and
undoubted charisma to showcase that even now he is still one of the top
draws of rock’s glittering establishment.
Even if it was just Sammy Hagar as the main selling point of the
recording, the record would be one that would sit proudly in the
collection but add in to the mix some of the greats he has admired and
worked with during his career, the album will be one that takes on all
comers due to its very heavy weight swagger and style. With
contributions from valiant and gallant friends such as Neal Schon,
Michael Anthony, Dave Zirbel, the beautiful sound of Nancy Wilson, the
growling drumbeat of Chad Smith and the strength of a moment of
delicious sweeping vocals of Kid Rock making a couple of exceptional
appearances then this album will appeal right across the range.
Ten very terrific tracks, ten reasons in which to revel in the heady mix
of reminisce and look to the future and chiefly the reason is the way
that Sammy Hagar pulls all those around him in to make an album that
rocks mightier than Mount Rushmore.
Kicking off with what can only be with the biggest tongue in cheek track
around, Winding Down, blows any latent cobwebs that have built up since
the last Chickenfoot album. It gives the listener to reason they need
to breathe deep, set the mind and musical muscle on alert for what it is
about to receive and then get ready to be rocked out several times over
in what can only be described as an album that delights in taking the
listener to the point and back in a self-gratifying and very cool way.
With tracks such as Not Going Down, the fantastic collaboration of
Knockdown Dragout, which features the first of Kid Rock’s vocals, the
very cool All We Need is an Island, in which the superb Nancy Wilson’s
guest appearance is to die for and for those getting the deluxe edition,
a brilliantly captured live version of Space Station #5 from the Ronnie
Montrose Tribute Concert and which features the sublime Joe Satriani’s
outstanding guitar.
Sammy Hagar & Friends is not just an album to own, it is a chance to
keep hearing the continuing story of one of the finest American rock
vocalists ever to be found hiding in the grooves of an album or set down
on a C.D. for all to hear.
The special promotes the September 24th release of "Sammy Hagar &
Friends", the singer's first solo release in five years. The project
