Search - Sammy Hagar :: Red

First taste of an obsession

"I first saw Sammy Hagar when he opened for Boston in 1978 in my hometown. After a disappointing opening, Sammy tore the roof of the arena with "I Guess Love Has Found Me" - from this album! From there on out, Hagar OWNED the audience; when Boston was ready to come out, the audience was still shouting, "Ha-GAR! Ha-GAR! Ha-GAR!"



Since then, I have been a devoted Hagar fan; he is probably the most lyrical, most MUSICAL of all the hard-rock masters extant. Between this album - known as "the Red Album" - and "Nine on a Ten Scale", you'll get the complete picture of how Hagar's career took off after Montrose."

Sammy Hagar's First True Rock Album Is White-Hot

The Footpath Cowboy | Kingston, NY United States | 12/08/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Sammy Hagar's second solo album is his first true rock album on his own, and it's white-hot. Heavily influenced by Ted Nugent and the Outlaws, this CD rocks hard and never quits until it ends. The best song here is "Rock & Roll Weekend", but there are plenty of other goodies here as well. Hagar's advocacies of sanctions against Indonesia in retaliation for that country's trumped-up 2005 drug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist, increased funding for law enforcement/community policing, and capital punishment or life without parole for kidnappers make SAMMY HAGAR an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience."

The album is unquestionably worth owning.

"This is Sammy's second album after he went solo. It is definitely worth buying. This is the album that his hit song "Red" came out on. It contains great ballads like "Catch the Wind" and "Little Star/Eclipse" along with hard hitting hits like "Cruisin' & Boozin'" and "Rock 'N' Roll Weekend." It shows the great talent that comes out of Sammy when he gets out on his own. His awesom vocal range coupled with his song writting abilities come out in this album."
