Hagar Sammy: VOA 1984

Sammy Hagar"'s first major success came with the group *Montrose* in the seventies with their first two albums. ""VOA"" was the last (and eight) solo album Sammy Hagar (nickname ""The Red Rocker"") recorded before he became the lead singer of *Van Halen* (on the album ""5150""), and this effort shows why he was invited to join the band. With songs like ""I Can"'t Drive 55,"" he adds a simple melody to the song which never distracts from the allimportant, hard-driving riff.
