Good to hear Pete. I have the first 4 Vandenberg on vinyl so guess I will have to add this one to the mix. Will stream it shortly …

Same here Deke.
I’ve got all the Vanderbergs plus his Vandenberg Moonkings so this one is definitely on order and I am waiting for it to arrive.

The new singer is good as I was kinda bummed that Romero for whatever reason left as I get tired of these band turnovers but it sounds quite good.

Mats Leven is like a Jeff Scott Soto.
He came on the radar with Swedish Erotica, Treat and Malmsteen in the late 80s and since those early 90s he’s been involved in hundreds of projects.

Now this is a release week. For me I’m definitely interested in picking up the Alice Cooper, Vandenburg, Turnpike Troubadours, UDO and also the surprise Zach Bryan album. And there are several others listed here I want to give a listen to. It’s been a lot of dry weeks this year and all of a sudden the floodgates have opened.

I streamed Alice Cooper twice today – it’s good, great when you consider the guy is 75 years old. Also streamed the new Bowling For Soup Greatest Hits Vol II, which is a lot of fun.

If you get a chance to listen to the album, I hope you like it! The singer sounds like David Coverdale.
