Change

This a little different for Richie but as always it is very good ! Richie's music is ever expanding in different styles but always has great musical tastes !!

Perfect!

Richie doesn't need Poison or Mr. Big(who I very much like). He is great solo. This is probably one of his finest cd's. Alot of people don't agree, but this is my favorite right after "Slow". I like that he's not afraid to put a few different songs at the end. I enjoy them. He could of left them off or called them bonus tracks, but if your a fan, you want to hear it all.

This former axeman of Poison and Mr. Big has released a new solo album through his Japanese record company. Did his former album "Slow" (2001) sound very funky in places, this brand-new "Change" has been blessed with an important change, because Richie sounds rockier again on this one. OK, he still likes to sound soulful and once in a while funky (I have to say that this fits his voice very well), but overall the rock influences are back. That he still can be compared with someone as big as Lenny Kravitz stands like a rock, but I can't say that this sucks! Only the opener and the two last instrumentals could have been left out. These songs are something of a weird mixture between modern rock & thrash funk or even jazzy!

In some situations he almost sounds like Eric Martin! Just listen to his own acoustic version of the former Mr. Big track "Shine" and you will shiver and agree. (Taken From [...]

this is the first solo kotzen cd i've heard. surprisingly i never thought it'd be done that way. i thought the cd would be filled with guitar solos.he's got a great voice, sounds much like chris cornell, but maybe it's just me. the songs are really good and some are quite radio friendly. the tracks are very diverse. cool cd!

It's totaly diferent work from other intrumetal oriented Kotzen's work. In this album he sings on all tracks, it was totaly frustrating, not because he singing, he changed his style from previous albuns.
