YOU got RED
This time, red romance magic! Push me off a bridge, a cloud, a flaming star to wish upon, I'm flying! Like one of those funny dreams, only bigger and betterer. Wow, joy all over! Bigger and betterer. And and and YOU! You dressed up like me! And I dressed up like you. And, wow, you DANCED with me! We danced dressed up like each other right on the dancefloor in front of everybody. To YOUR tunes! You dance great! Straight and smart, flaming star to wish upon! YOU! That was the most romance magic moment of my LIFE. The bestest! What a gift, thank YOU so much Diana! You are the coolest girl I ever met!.


Sammy Hagar's First True Rock Album Is White-Hot
Heavily influenced by Ted Nugent and the Outlaws, this CD rocks hard and never quits until it ends. Sammy Hagar's second solo album is his first true rock album on his own, and it's white-hot. The best song here is "Rock & Roll Weekend", but there are plenty of other goodies here as well. Hagar's advocacies of sanctions against Indonesia in retaliation for that country's trumped-up 2005 drug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist, increased funding for law enforcement/community policing, and capital punishment or life without parole for kidnappers make SAMMY HAGAR an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.


Still one of my all-time favorite albums
His solo material stands the test of the time and keeps getting better. I've been a Sammy fan since the Montrose days. Van Halen needed Sammy much more than he needed them. He saved their butts from oblivion. .

1. (*****)

2. Catch The Wind -4:35- The worst song on the CD, but still not bad. (**)

3. Cruisin And Boozin -3:08- Good song, but nothing special. (***)

4. Free Money -3:58- Slow in the start, but the pace picks up after that. (**3/4)

5. Rock N Roll Weekend -3:10- Great song, but it's way too short. (****)

6. Fillmore Shuffle -3:45- Not a bad song at all, but far from a good one. (**1/4)

7. Hungry -3:06- Good song, but it's not long enough to be rated any higher. (***1/4)

8. The Pits -3:07- Unspectacular, but still fun to listen to. (**3/4)

9. Love Has Found Me -3:51- All around good rock song. (***1/4)

10. Little Star/Eclipse -6:10- Possibly the best slow song I've ever heard. (***1/2)

OVERALL= -39:01- My favorite Sammy Hagar album ever. (***3/4).


SOME LIKE IT HOT, I LIKE IT RED
Louis. I was born and raised in St. If you know anything about Sammy Hagar you know that St. Louis is his biggest market, second to none. So now you are going to get a proper review of this album from a TRUE FAN since (well I'm not going to tell my age).

This album is essential to any Sammy fan. In fact, to get a feel for Sammy's progression through his career, one should start with the self-titled Montrose album, than Montrose's Paper Money. You could skip over Nine On A Ten Scale (his solo debut and only weak album). Your third purchase should be this album. I still call them albums. You're lucky I didn't call it an 8-track.

Red is Sammy's signature song. I could never get tired of hearing this song.

Other highlights are Cruisin And Boozin' (CLASSIC!), Rock 'N' Roll Weekend (ESSENTIAL), Fillmore Shuffle (EXCELLENT!), The Pits, Love Has Found Me (EXCELLENT!) and Little Star/Eclipse.

After this album, buy each album in order of release and listen to it through, familiarize yourself thoroughly before buying the next. You too will know why Sammy is such an important part of rock music. Once your done with his catalog, book a ticket to see him in St. Louis. The place goes NUTS!

When you attend the concert, wear RED!

Finally, I think the music Sammy did with Van Halen is good, but everyone in St. Louis longed for the day he would return to a solo career. Dreams do come true.
