The Winery Dogs (2013) "The Winery Dogs" was released in North America on July 23 via Loud & Proud Records and in Japan on May 15 via Victor Entertainment. The CD was mixed by Jay Ruston, who has previously worked with ANTHRAX, ADRENALINE MOB, STONE SOUR and STEEL PANTHER. Sheehan previously stated about the effort: "I'm really pleased with it. Richie sang his ass off and played amazingly unique stuff, and, of course Mike annihilated on drums. [It's a] really cool, unique record." "In all of my years in this business, I've always been part of either a progressive band or a metal band," said Portnoy. "This is the first time I've been in an all-original band that's just a rock band in the vein of LED ZEPPELIN or VAN HALEN." He added: "It's so refreshing to just play straight-ahead music with lots of twists. Obviously, the musicianship is great in this band, but it's very song-oriented." Regarding how THE WINERY DOGS got its name, Portnoy said: "It was Richie's name. We had a list of about 50 names. I had about 10 that I preferred over THE WINERY DOGS, but you know, when you're in a band, you have to give and take and choose your battles, and Richie really, really loved this band name. So, you know, it was, like, 'OK.' A name is a name. If you feel that strongly about it, then go for it. So that's who we are." http://www.blabbermouth.n...available/ Music for adventurous listeners tA Tribal Records "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn.

I dig Richie Kotzen, although I didn't learn about him until the Vertu album, with Stanley Clarke and Lenny White...

I've liked Richie for a while. I had his Fever Dream album on cassette and the albums he did with Mr Big and Poison were great She Believed in Fairytales and Princes, He Believed the voices coming from his stereo
