Kotzen, Richie

A thrilling new chapter in the career of this wildly prolific, multi-layered, seasoned musical "multi-tasker" and producer. Once again he played everything and sang everything himself. Over the years he's pushed all his skills to their…

Kotzen has delivered an exceptionally mellow, disco-flavored album that keeps all the distinctive songwriting identity of this fantastic artist and will surprise every fan of his catalog.

… something incredible happens.

Anyone going to a Kotzen show always gets what they pay for: a musically flawless gig. Still, there was a bitter aftertaste in realizing that Kotzen has become an industry.

An album of intense feelings and contrasting musical statements, set within this artist's established formula, yet to this day it hits with an authenticity few Kotzen albums can match.
