CD Reviews
He only keeps getting better!

"Besides being one of the best singer/guitar player combinations there ever was, Dave Meniketti is also one of the nicest and candid artist I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. His new album just blew me away the first time I heard it, and it continues to astound me every time I turn on the c.d. player. With songs like "Angel on my shoulder," You can't deny Dave Meniketti is one of the greats. The Man came on my radio show at 2:00am and played his heart out, and everyone in the studio sat there mesmerised for 2 and a half hours.An album like this is worth it's weight in Gold, and is one of the few that could actually get away with having "Guaranteed to please" slapped on the side."
You Think Eddie Van Halen Can Play the Guitar Listen To This

"If you are a Y & T fan or not you got to listen to this cd. This guy (Dave Meniketti) can play some kick ass rock & roll / blues music. With the opening track all the through until the last one you will beg for more. Playing since the early Seventies I would think its about time this man gets some recognition he deserves. Listen loud and you will know what I' am talking about."
A Y&T revival. Classic

"The previous reviews say it all. Absolutely fantastic. Y&T's last two albums were weak at best with only a handful of songs worth listening to. THis may not have a bad song on it except for the previously Parchment Farm. If you grew up in the 80's and loved Y&T you will simply lose it over this masterpiece. Dave shows he's still got it. Like another lead singer/lead guitarist of note (Sammy Hagar) he proves once again that he is one of the best of the past 20 years. And probably of all time. Congrats Dave."
In one word - - INCREDIBLE!!!
