John Corabi - New Day (CD)

JOHN CORABI, probably best known for his stints with MÖTLEY CRÜE and THE DEAD DAISIES, puts out a pretty seventies-based, organic and authentic solo album, his debut, by the way. The American seems to be influenced by the sixties as well. Very natural rock sounds with an excellent voice and pretty mature songwriting all over the place. Produced by Marti Frederiksen (AEROSMITH, OZZY) and with several guest appearances by, for instance, Paul Taylor (keys, WINGER) or Richard Fortus (g, GUNS'N'ROSES). Just check out the cool title track and the emotional "When I Was Young". Reminiscent of THE BLACK CROWES at times. (MS)
