CD REVIEW Bruce Kulick

Band : Bruce Kulick
Album title : BK3
Label : Frontiers
Distributor : Rough Trade Benelux
Release date : 29/01/2010
Release : CD

Third solo album for this ex-Kiss guitarist. On this album he got aided by a lot of well known musicians, which is not surprising when you've been in the business for some years. Among others there's Gene Simmons, John Corabi (didn't they play together in Union?), Steve Lukather, and even Tobias Sammet.

This album offers a lot of variety stylewise, as could be expected with the diversity of the line-up.
Bruce shows that he's a very talented guitarist, and also that he can write a decent song.  Sadly enough not all songs are equally good, which in the end means that this is just a decent album, but not one which will be remembered for very long.

The instrumental track, on which Steve Lukather joins in with Bruce, closes the album, together with the last song, who as it happens, is a ballad. My personal opinion is that these two songs might have better been mixed in between the other songs, and even that the ballad is superfluous and might just as well been have left out.

60/100
