Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring guitar prodigy Richie Kotzen replacing C.C. DeVille, Poison attempts to pivot away from their defining glam metal sound. 'Native Tongue' embraces a remarkably rootsy, blues-rock approach, integrating horn sections and gospel choirs into the band's classic hard rock formula.
