This review is from: Riverdogs//on Air (Audio CD)

The Riverdogs were a project of Rob Lamothe (guitar, vocals), Vivian Campbell (guitar,vocals), Nick Brophy (Bass), ans Mike Baird, (drums).

A great unsung band who fused Hard Rock, Blues, a little folk feel, and a great deal of soul, they seemed to arrive at the wrong time. After MTV abandoned rock for rap, and just before the grunge era hit big, the Riverdogs were doing everything right in a world going horribly wrong. This two disc set consists of two offerings of the same material, the original RIVERDOGS cd, and ON AIR, that was originally issued as a promo only release of the same songs sung live in radio stations across America as they toured and supported the cd.

The strong songwriting and great performances of the original RIVERDOGS 1st cd are complimented well by the loose, live, and largely acoustic versions of the same songs on the ON AIR 2nd disc. I had both of these cd's when they were first released, until a former girlfriend stole them from me in the early 1990's. I can't remember her last name, but I always missed these cd's, especially ON AIR, so when I found out they were reissued, I bought them immediately. The remastered versions of this package are even better than the originals, if that's possible. If you like timeless rock without a dated feel, grab this while you can.

This is one of my top 5 CD's not to mention one of the most unbelieveable hidden gems of hard rock song for song played straight through cover to cover. They played Detroit in 1990 and were interviewed and played on WRIF and I was so blown away I bought the CD immediately. I kept thinking how did this miss major air play? I have always believed these songs would be incredible performed "unplugged" where the true power of the lyrics could rain down.
