Rick Tedesco is most known for playing in Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famer, and Alice Cooper alum, Dennis Dunaway’s solo band. While working on material for a Dunaway album, Rick was told by Dennis that the time had come for him to make a solo album.

Rick rolled up his sleeves and got to work. The result is a cool, old school, crank it up loud, moody, weird and rockin’ album. The songs are the real treat here. There is no fancy foot work, no slight of hand and no gimmicks instead, Rick just bashes you over the skull with some trippy and dark music.

The album will remind one of early Blue Oyster Cult with a touch of early Cooper influence. The songs grow on the listener with every play until you start wanting this sucker in your CD player. The opening track, “”Fireball” starts things off with a true bang but “See You in Hell,” “Whore,” “Pain,” “Drowning,” “Toy” and “Bottomless Well” will get under your skin in a good way. If you still are not sure then “You” and “Church of Sinners,” the closing songs on the album, will convince you this is some cool shit. As if that were not enough, Tedesco brings in Dennis Dunaway on the song “Fireball” (written by Dunaway) and Ian Hunter on “Night is Coming.”
