Izzy has a new band, and a new album. The band (and the album) is called 'Izzy Stradlin And The Ju Ju Hounds', on Geffen Records. The Boston Glove gives it a thumbs-up review, comparing mostly to Keith Richards and the Rolling Stones. Best news of all - on lead guitar is Rick Richards from the Georgia Satellites!!! He is an awesome rock'n'roll guitarist! I can't wait to check out this album!!!! alan

-1 Woof woof, Judy! Here puppy.... RE: Alan I've heard some of this album, and can tell you this will be in your WHAT'S HOT list for a LONG time!!! Izzy wears his R&R influences well on this debut, and it really has a nice R&B groove (with an edge). *Very* Stones-ish ... but the singing sounds more like Keith than Mick. | |||||

Yeah, the GS are gone 8^(.... the single from Dan Baird is LAME, although I must admit that the chorus is catchy. I heard it only once, over 2 weeks ago, and I can still hear it.... re: Buck > I've heard some of this album, and can tell you this will be in your > WHAT'S HOT list for a LONG time!!! You know what I like!!!! 8^) I get that feeling too - I mean, I just eat up this kinda rock and roll!!! > *Very* Stones-ish ... but the singing sounds more like Keith than Mick. Ha! That's exactly what the Globe said also! Here's the whole review: Izzy Stradlin shocked the rock world by walking away last year from Guns and Roses, for whom he had penned such tunes as "Patience", ""Mr. Brownstone", and "Double Talkin' Jive". Stradlin was fed up with the G'n'R madness, but he hasn't turned his back on rock and roll. This new solo disc, due out Tuesday, plays like a tribute to his idol: Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. Stradlin scores with the same gritty, raunch-ready guitar style as Richards. Many song, in fact, such as the slide-guitar stoked "Train Tracks" and funky "Cuttin' The Rug" would fit comfortably in the Stones songbook. The only drawback is that Stradlin' also sings like Richards, meaning the limited, hard-edged rasp to his voice is an aquired taste. There's no Mick Jagger to pick up the slack (or Axl Rose, for that matter), but there's plenty to like if you need a shot of pure energy and can overlook the vocal shortcomings. Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds, who include guitarist Rick Richards from the Georgia Satellites, even add a punked up cover of Toots And The Maytals' "Pressure Drop". Keith Richards would be proud. I dunno if I'd be that harsh on Izzy's voice - I liked it when he sang "Dust And Bones" on 'Use Your Illusion I'..... but then again, I like Keith's voice too, so who am I to judge??? 8^) alan | |||||

Got to be Sticky Fingers then, because I have Let It Bleed and it doesn't have it... I heard this song last night on the way home. Good call Alan & Buck. Definitely Stonesish/Crowesish... If the rest of the album is on par, it will be a big hit... Tim | |||||

Picked up this album over the weekend..... review forthcoming after a few more spins..... Initial impression? Maybe not as great as I had hoped, but still damn good. And it's too short - under 40 minutes. But more details later..... alan | |||||
