4.0 out of 5 stars His best since "117 Degrees", July 30, 2003

This album is somewhat less punk-influenced than its immediate predecessors, and more reminicent of Izzy's first solo album, the magnificent "Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds".

It doesn't have quite as many memorable songs, and it is perhaps less musically versatile, but "On Down The Road" holds its own with tracks like the tough rocker "You Bet'Cha", the ballad "Sweet Caress", the fine, acoustic "Got Some News", a cover of the Glimmer Twins' "Please Go Home", and the driving title track.

It is almost on par with Izzy's fine second album, "117 Degrees", and better, more varied, and more accessible (in my opinion) than his two Japanese albums "Ride On" and "River".
3 1/2 stars (and when it's .5 you round up to the nearest whole number!).

i gotta admit that i was torked about another izzy import. WAKE UP people! izzy is the real deal! the dude writes, plays, and sings! he isn't out for a quick buck or the latest trend. he writes great rock tunes! period. unfortunately we have to get these great tunes via import! his latest opus, "on down the road" is one great little disc. 10 songs. no frills rock n' roll! can't pick a favorite they're all great! the one phrase that best describes this set is "stonesy." izzy definitely sounds like the son of mick and keef. the world needs more izzy! pick this one up for sure! less import titles...... more izzy!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good album, but definitely not on par with AFD, December 20, 2002

This is a response to an earlier review that stated this album is better than "Appetite For Destruction". Maybe that person was just trying to get a reaction, and that's fine. But there is no way you can compare this to a classic like Appetite. As far as "On Down the Road", it is a very good album. Izzy knows what kind of music he wants to do and he does it very well. It seemed like a long time between the JuJu Hounds and 117 degrees, but Axl has proved that Izzy was working rather quickly! Pick up this album if you're an Izzy/Slash/Duff/GNR fan, it's definitely worth it.
