Red Rocker Rocks on This One!
VOA has something to offer. VOA simply ROCKS! After some consideration, it's actually better than Three Lock Box. . . timeless rock. Sammy pulls no putches here, he girds up and lets it fly! Enjoy this 80's rock n roll masterpiece.

Wear Red (if ya ---)
KSHE-95, St. Only time will tell if we stand the test of time!

The first 10 years of his career, I acknowledged "Sammy" by twisting the radio dial to ANYthing else whenever he came over the airwaves. Louis. Around 1984, I was in the great cultured Northeast, stopped in a tavern, delighted to see a jukebox, then astounded to see a Sammy Hagar 45 on it!

"I Can't Drive 55" is sorta the perfect car song, one of the essential DNA components of rock&roll. "VOA" is patriotic, reactionary, whatever, but "55," hey, most Americans actually cannot stand driving the speed limit. The video is painfuller than the album cover but the tune RINGS TRUE. Jailhouse rock!

Two years later, WHOO, boy! And who woulda thunk (somewhere around F. U. C. K. ) this canary cornball with the el cheapo guitar had it in 'em to become one of the greatest rock vocalists of ALL time? Payin' dues! It just goes to show lack of (natural) talent CAN be surmounted by discipline, tenacity and sincerity.

I'm not LISTENING to this junk, I'm REPROGRAMMING myself with it!

Sammy's Best
His biggest song of his carreer "I can't drive 55" is on here, along with other classic tracks. After years of touring, releasing cd's, Sammy finally acheived commericial success with VOA. My personal favorites are "Rock Is In My Blood," "Burning Down The City" and "Swept Away. " Sammy joined Van Halen after this cd was realeased. He was at the height of his career as solo artist. Sammy's best cd.
If you get any Sammy cd, this is the one. A timeless classic.


Great CD From A Great Artist/Human Being
It's unfortunate that STANDING HAMPTON and THREE LOCK BOX haven't gotten similar treatment, but that's probably because they're still in print, whereas this one went out of print a few years ago. VOA is Sammy Hagar's seventh great solo album in a row from his Capitol and Geffen years combined, and it's great to see it finally get the deluxe reissue treatment it deserves. Fortunately, the good folks at American Beat Records saw fit to reissue VOA, restoring it to Hagar's catalog. Hagar's advocacies of sanctions against countries that falsely convict foreigners, capital punishment/life without parole for kidnappers, and increased funding for law enforcement make this CD an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.
