Look what the cat dragged in, I got the honor to review the new Rick Springfield. The actor and singer Rick Springfield isn't an unknown to a lot of people. But if he is rather known in the metalscene, is a big question? The name was familiar, but didn't immediately ring a bell with me. When I googled him on the internet however, I must say the man has had a busy life so far. What I have to listen to however, is his music.

I must confess this is not my cup of tea. This is easy-listening radio airplay rock. For me it is too soft. This is girlie music. The man can write good songs, can sing, can play and writes songs that will be played on MTV and the regular radiostations. There will be a big fan base for him and with his V.I.P. status there will be enough airplay. I pass this one on to my wife!

For me however, please next!
