A true guitar hero and one of the best electric six-string emerged from the ’80s, JAKE E. LEE took a sabbatical decade away from the stages during the 2000’s. Anyway, Jake recorded this very good record of classic rock songs with the help of famous singers entitled “Runnin’ With The Devil“.
Never published in the Asian market, recently has been remastered and released in Japan.
Quite underrated during the Eighties – but highly praised later – Jake E. Lee is mostly known by the two albums he recorded with Ozzy Osbourne, “Bark At The Moon” and the slick “Ultimate Sin” (not to mention his three excellent Badlands albums), all chock full of fantastic playing by this man.
On “Runnin’ With The Devil” you get an album’s worth of reworkings of songs made famous by Van Halen, Ted Nugent, AC/DC, etc, with Lee’s guitar doing battle with a variety of singers such as Glenn Hughes, Ratt’s Stephen Pearcy, Stevie Rachelle from Tuff, Testament’s Chuck Billy, Warrant’s Jani Lane and more.
All covers are hot ‘n rockin’, like Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes’ “Journey to the Center of the Mind”, which features some tasty licks and a crazy solo.
Other highlights include tracks where it’s the singer who makes the music memorable, including Lemmy on AC/DC’s “It’s a Long Way to the Top”, Glenn Hughes on Queen’s “Get Down, Make Love”, and the late Jani Lane of Warrant doing “Free For All”.

It’s always a treat to spot some largely unheard Jake E. Lee guitar work, and “Runnin’ With The Devil” is a great example of his mastery on the electric guitar.
Great Japanese remastered reissue.
