After many years not releasing a solo album, talented rock n’ soul singer / songwriter RICHIE KOTZEN is back with “Nomad“. Renowned for his guitar virtuosity, as well as being a highly respected solo artist, he’s also played with Mr. Big and is a member of The Winery Dogs as well as being one half of Smith/Kotzen with Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden.
“Nomad” is a gloriously powerful slice of guitar-drive and hard-riffin’ heavy rock. Of course there’s other musical avenues Kotzen loves so much, like blues, soul, and funky rock n’ roll.
Written, recorded and produced by himself, “Nomad” features new music showcasing Kotzen’s multi-faceted musical styles with Kotzen playing almost every instrument on the album. On “Nomad”, Kotzen expresses his diverse techniques and influences, from hard rock to ’70s-infused soul and funk, fusion to R&B. It’s all intertwined with his own unique playing and songwriting approach, while retaining his ever-evolving signature style.
While “Nomad” has no shortage of heavy guitar rockers, the sheer diversity of the album as heard on tracks such as “Nihilist”, “This Is A Test” and the title track “Nomad” showcases not only Kotzen’s musical range and vocal prowess, but his fearless imagination as a producer/arranger.
