Cool. I like where I think you can hear Graham say " Are you sure you're completely in tune?"
Not you!!!!!!!!!! O......M.........G!!!!
SWTA is one of my all time favorite albums. I like everything on it. Other than that there are maybe three or four other tracks on his other albums I’d even bother with.
Whats the verdict?Second time through this one, some good stuff..............
What a combo man. I am, as a huge Iron Maiden fan and I dig me some Ritchie Kotzen, intrigued to say the least.
It's got quite a few really good tunes.
I got introduced to Ritchie via The Winery Dogs. And like you you said Adrian is great in Maiden.
It's a throw back to great guitar rock with some funk mixed in. They both share the vocals which is great!
Check it out and let me know what you think!!

I’m not advocating that The Osmonds were anything musically high brow. However I do have two songs I’ve been playing.
1. Crazy Horses - It’s probably not all that good taken by itself, but knowing it comes from the Osmonds makes it somehow seem impressive in that it doesn’t totally suck.
2. The Proud One - This is a remake of an older Frankie Valli tune. I like how the Osmonds recording has that stereotypical 1970s (maybe disco-y?) recording style where it sounds like the whole orchestra just starts spinning like a vinyl record slow at first until it gets up to speed and then goes round and around.

Sounds like great guitar rock with some funk mixed in. Their guitar styles compliment each other really well. I'm 4 songs in definitely diggin it.
There have always been a few snippets of songs that have stuck in my brain since I was a kid, and it would be years, decades, or possibly never that I learn who it was.
This is one of them. In the back of my head I seemed to remember the vocal chorus sounding like "If you wanna get to heaven" (Ozark Mountain Daredevils) and then that crazy keyboard part; obviously the brain cell that had the vocals recorded was lost, but I still remember that keyboard part. Thanks Kazaam, for filling in one more gap!
There was another tune that took me decades, it had the craziest Clav part. I heard once over the sound system in a restaurant in Wendover NV (it made an impression) and I quickly asked my waitress if she knew who it was (nope, but young enough to be my daughter). I asked the table next to me, nobody knew. I almost wanted to scream in the casino, "Who the heck does this song!?!?!" but I didn't.
Some years later I was reading an article about "the Fifth Beatle", Mr. Billy Preston, and I ordered a copy of his greatest hits from Amazoid. First track came out of the speakers, and There It Was!
Outa-Space. Easily the greaziest, fawnkiest Clav track ever recorded (beats out Superstition IMNSHO). I was so happy.
While retrieving this video I noticed there's a tutorial on how to play it, will be looking at that soon.
Cool. Will give it a listen as well ...
