Customer Rating:      Summary: I'd have sex with you Sammy............ Comment: Fans, listen up. When Sammy sings we listen! Does anyone have a question? I loved "Livin It Up", you have to have the Cabo life style in mind when you enjoy that CD. I did exactly what my main man Sammy told me to do, I went there once, now I've been there twice....I'm sure to be there again.
Regarding this CD, it's great...I love the music and passion Sammy hands us, are you ready? You will be tapping your toe, and snapping your gum baby....Happy New Year
Lots of Michigan Love to Sammy,
Peace..
Sue
Customer Rating:      Summary: Rock from Cabo...again Comment: Another great job from Mr.Sammy...I would by any cd with his name on it even without listening...rock n roll man...
Customer Rating:      Summary: 3.5 Stars Comment: If you like ALL Sammy, dating back to Montrose and his eclectic '70s solo catalog, CUF may appeal to you. There are songs that rock (like his '80s catalog), and some with a country-ish twang.
In the early years, Sammy had a borderline R&B influence (listen to Sam's did a cover of "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" or "Keep on a Rockin'"). Although it's nice to hear some variety, you've got to be in the mood to hear some of this. I think the same applies to the 'twang' or 'Buffet' influenced material he's put out lately.
Let's face it... If he doesn't try to appeal to a new audience (and it would appear that country is the path of least resistance), it's going to hurt our (Sammy fans) chances of enjoying future new albums or tours. I doubt any teens or college kids are rushing out to buy a 61 year-old rocker's album, so Sam's gotta expand the market with the 35+ crowd.
Give the album a couple listens before you ditch it. If you don't feel it, you have nearly 35 years of other Sammy material to listen to.
This is certainly not a one star album, nor is it a five star. I would give it a 3.5 if I could, but that's not an option on Amazon.
Keep On A-Rockin'!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good effort, but it falls flat! Comment: I've been a Sammy Hagar fan for many years now and i have to say that this latest attempt at creating music is just that.. "an attempt". there's nothing here that hints at reinvention whatsoever. Sam prides himself on his tequila and his livin' it up lifestyle. the inclusion of that particular lifestyle in his music has not carried over very well on this disc or his previous one for alot of fans. The title song in and of itself..sucks. "Psycho Vertigo" is okay and "Peeping through a hole" would have been alright if i hadn't already heard Jeff Scott Soto sing that with Soul Sirkus. The Soul Sirkus version blows this one to pieces. the rest of the disc is filler. It just doesn't have the elements of a "rockin'" Sammy Hagar record. Sammy is capable of creating better more listenable hard rock music even at the ripe old of 60! I really hope that the music that he's recorded with Satriani,Mike and Chad is far superior to this latest spud. I'll be waiting to hear the music from that "project" whatever name they decide to give it when it finally comes out.
Customer Rating:      Summary: ROCKS! Comment: This cd rocks! Plain and simple good ole' hard rock'n roll. His vocals are superb. I would suggest giving it a shot. Every time Hagar comes out with a new release it leaves me wanting more. (I wish there were more songs to this. I thought the song "Open" should have been put on this cd also).
