Richie Kotzen "Acoustic Cuts"

Following his controversial split with Poison, guitarist Richie Kotzen continued his solo career releasing albums in various musical genres, ranging from rock to soul and ultimately fusion. He also became a permanent member of the band Mr. Big, with whom he recorded two studio and several live albums. So far he has released 13 solo albums including the very critically acclaimed latest release entitled "Get Up", a torrid example of hard rock music with strong blues influences. "Acoustic Cuts" is an album which was recorded by Richie originally to be sold exclusively at his shows and through the website. Due to the demand of the fans, he decided to make it available to the public and offered it to Frontiers Records who immediately felt was a good opportunity to show another side of the amazing talent of this artist. The album features ten of Richie Kotzen's most popular songs performed on acoustic guitar in a very stripped back and intimate form - a nice break from the full-on electric style for which he is best known.
