Album Notes & Community Reviews

The veteran guitar prodigy's solo debut is a masterful, highly eclectic celebration of pure American rock and roll. Featuring the definitive, hit version of his signature anthem 'Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo', the production perfectly balances blistering fretwork with infectious pop hooks and subtle glam-rock swagger, supported by an impressive cast of elite session players.
