Featuring some of the most searing Guitar Solos we've heard in a long time; not to mention Guitar Tones to die for! ROCKETS debut album is a dedication collection of material and performance (hence the CD title) to those guitarist musicians who have inspired his personal love and devotion for the instrument. The album is meticulously recorded and includes some fantastic arrangements.
ROCKET was born in Texas, but grew up in Massachusetts. His father was a well known country guitarist who performed at the Grand Old Opry, and taught Rocket guitar at the age of eleven.
R.R. just finished touring with Lou Gramm (Foreigner). His first solo album additionally features former Roth band mates Gregg Bissonette, Ron Wikso, and Brett Tuggle- In addition, Michael Baird (drums), Vince DiCola (Piano & Hammond), Matt Bissonette (Bass) & Tom Lilly (Bass) are also featured. In addition to his tours and appearances below, Rocket has also done session work and score writing for a number of TV shows, commercials, and movies. He also has made video appearances, including Gregg Bissonette's Instructional Guitar video. Rocket was Steppenwolf's lead guitarist from 1985 to late 1993. He co-wrote a number of songs on the band's "Rock N Roll Rebels", and "Feed the Fire", releases. He is also featured on the Wolf's excellent double live CD "Live at 25". Prior to joining the Wolf, he was a hot L.A. session guitarist. Rocket was also the guitarist in Cher's band and later joined Black Rose that featured Cher and her then boyfriend, guitarist Les Dudek. Rocket has recorded and toured with David Lee Roth (Van Halen) as well.
If you enjoy great guitar- Electric and Acoustic, with melody and orchestration...
This album is for you.
