Slow

This effort from Richie Kotzen is rather mediocre, and lack luster. I have most of Richie's albums but this effort is not one of my favorites. There are quite a few filler tracks on this album, which makes the album short and not memorable. Do not misunderstand. This is not a terrible album, but it is rather short and not Richie's best work.

I still don't get how I missed this guy all of these years. Amazing combined talent.

Another great release from the brilliant Mr. Kotzen

I have a few of Richie's and I like them all ___He seems to tell it like as it is and I relate !

Incredible Rock album, I dont know how this guy makes so many albums of such great quality. Loved IT!! Anyone who loves music on any level should check this guy OUT!!!

Richie Kotzen proves he is one of the best kick-ass guitarist to ever walk the planet. This review is of the IMPORT from Finland with the Bonus Track " ALL I CAN "The First track " Ohio " kicks it into gear with some hard bluesy guitar and bass riffs. " Scared of You " is another track with lightning vocals and fast beat. Kotzen shows off from start to finish in " Gold Digger ".... the next tune.. " The Answer " is a great hoppin rocker. " Slow " is anything but...then " Don't Wanna Lie " slows it down a bit (one for the ladies) it sounds as good as any pop song from the time period then Richie gets back into gear with " Got it Bad " a bit bluesy with some great licks. " I Can Make You Happy " keeps the pace then " Sapphire " shows some excellent Latin Classical talents...for a minute the Kotzen next one " Come Back " is another pop vocal/jazzy song that songs good with some special effects thrown in....next track " Rely On Me " Shows us some of the techno influence of the time... " Lets Say Goodbye " another slow one for the ladies with the lights turned down slow dancer yes... then Old time Jazz with " Conflicted " my least favorite at first but then kicks into gear with my favorite on the disc the BONUS SONG " ALL I CAN " An absolute Rocker Classic....I stumbled on this CD by accident I only wish I would have been able to see this band play live...this is one of my few CD's I can say deserves 5 Stars...enjoy

First let me say that I'm not a musician. I just enjoy music. Mostly Electric Blues Guitar, Heavy Metal and Classic Rock. I had to write a review about this cd. Within the last year I have been collecting Richie Kotzen cd's. When I first listened to this one I was amazed. I had already owned 5 of his cd's, but this one Blew Me Away. It's been awhile since I've had a cd that is just fun to listen to. I can be in the worst mood and pop in this cd and I just start to "Dance in my seat" driving down the road. The best way I can describe the sound is "Funky". You can get all technical on how it was recorded or Who's on it or what record label. Bottom line for me is how does it make you feel when you listen to it. I Love It. My second favorite Kotzen cd is "change".

In a world of boy bands and nu-metal, this album IS the light at the end of the tunnell. If your looking for an artist that mixes great songwriting with great playing and infectious melodies, this is THE album for you. After playing this album over and over again (it never gets old!) my co workers and I cannot understand why Richie does not have a major label deal. This album has HITS all over it!Most guitar-based artists have played it safe by churning out long boring albums. Not Richie. He's taken the real challenge with music and decided to actually write songs. What a concept! All these songs rock. All these songs have a SOUL. Buy the album, you won't regret it. I'm definately going to buy more of Richie's CD's after hearing this...
