Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded piecemeal while the guitarist faced ongoing prosecution and eventual imprisonment under the Mann Act. Despite the personal turmoil, the tracks鈥攊ncluding 'Let It Rock' and 'Bye Bye Johnny'鈥攎aintained his signature, driving double-stop guitar riffs and sharp, adolescent-focused lyricism.
