Wow, I hadn't intended to write a CD review and certainly if I was, I'd do The Donnas new release instead. But I'm catching up on some listening on some stuff I bought at CD Warehouse as they clear out their inventory. I managed to get a handful of CDs and a Ramones keychain for about $20. Nothing real high quality on the list, although I did have to pass up on a hard-to-find CD by Jeff Healey doing cover tunes. I gave it a listen way back in the day, thought there was one good song on it, refused to pay $15 for it and went about my merry way. Could have gotten it for about $6 the other day, but I still passed.

Anyway, this CD really caught me by surprise. I only bought it because of two factors. One, Gilby Clarke (formerly of Guns N Roses) was in it, and two, it was only $1.99. So it was a no risk procurement. I'm not a big GNR fan, but I had heard about this project and thought "what the hell." I gotta admit after listening to it, that it is really a cool CD, though. So I'm here to shout it from the mountaintop. Its a pretty heavy 70s vibe, very Steve Miller ... with a bit of Counting Crows mixed in. Definitely a retro feel to it. But the fact that I'm adding about 4 of the songs to my MP3 roster is pretty impressive for something I didn't think I'd even like all that much.

Irony being what it is, one of the other CDs I got while there was a Duff McKagen solo release. Dunno what it is about Guns & Roses when I was shopping. Just one of those things, I guess. Too bad I didn't run across Slash's Snakepit or something like that.
