Nice work to all involved, I recommend this cd. -Jerel


Panama 3:21 (rating 9 out of 10)
The guitarist, a former member of Aerosmith, known as Jimmy Crespo, rips this one up. Richard Kendrick does a A+ job on the vocals. This group adds their own favor to the song. It's one of the best songs on this cd.

Shy Boy 3:18 (rating 8)
Another All-Star guitarist George Lynch makes this song his own. Tony Harnell member of West World and Jason McMaster share the energy in the Lead Vocals. This song was also contributed to the album "Lords of Karma: A Tribute to Vai/Satriani".

Yankee Rose 4:23 (rating 7)
Chicago based Enuff Znuff takes over on Yankee Rose. This track is the album's lead single.

Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love 3:45 (rating 8)
These guys are having fun, and plain out rockin'. Jim Yelenick leads Jet Black Joy's vocals duties

Tobacco Road 2:21 (rating 9)
Corey Craven, singer of Slo Annie, does the vocals and guitar - and does a very nice job of it.

Take Your Whiskey Home 4:23 (rating 10)
I was personally impressed with this song. Way to go American Dog! American Dog also did the backing tracks for the following tracks on this cd: Panama, I Can't Drive 55, and There's Only One Way To Rock.

Mas Tequila 3:59 (rating 6)
Musically this song was good. But it felt like David Lee was singing...

Why Can't This Be Love 3:49 (rating 8)
Gravity Pharm catches the energy on this. Very realistic compared to VH's version.

I Can't Drive 55 5:46 (rating 7)
A Straight forward rocker by Shane "The Impaler" Volk

When It's Love 5:37 (rating 7)
I loved the music, but the vocals just didn't seem to fit. The guitar was excellent. I've got to hand it to Richard Kendrick...he does the vocals, backing vocals, guitar, bass, and the keyboards! Drums are handled by Blayne Coupel.

Right Now 4:43 (rating 10)
Musically, this is one of the top songs on here. Scott Szeryk is a Eddie Van Halen Clone on this one. The Band "5150" is the best Sammy Era Tribute band out there. I liked the way they recorded this track too (sounds close to the real VH).

There's Only One Way to Rock 4:07 (rating 10)
There's only one way to end this album... and they picked it. Nice job Steve Whiteman, and again kudos to American Dog who did the backing track.
