You! Ever the effin optimist!
This album rocks. I almost could make the case that Wolf tried hard on his debut NOT to sound like a Van Halen on his debut album (which I still play all the time two years later).
He has no such reservations here. The thundering, thoughtful drumming evokes his uncle from decades past and the guitar work - I absolutely love it!
Every track stands on its own, but Another Celebration and Take a Bow are instant classics. Want to know what it sounds like to play through a $25 million rig? Listen to the solo on Take a Bow. Frankie played through dad’s Marshall Plexi. I will let you be the judge how that worked out, but the solo alone is worth buying the album.
Oh, and Optimist rocks, just in case you are wondering.
