RHETT FORRESTER & ROB ROBBINS – The Complete Dr. Dirty Sessions 1992-1993 (2024) *HQ*
Finally the complete early Nineties by hard rock band Dr. Dirty sees the light of day. RHETT FORRESTER & ROB ROBBINS – ”The Complete Dr. Dirty Sessions” is a collection of songs celebrating a little known chapter in the musical journey of much missed rock vocalist, the one and only… the late Rhett Forrester during his time spent living in Canada in the early ’90s.
Originally billed under the band-name Dr. Dirty from 1992-1993, the songs herein were written by Scot Gaines and Rob Robbins before Forrester joined to complete the then new band.
Sound quality is very good, and musically these guys served classic melodic hard rock with that polished Canadian style. There’s really catchy hooks here and Rhett’s marvelous performances, at places close to David Coverdale.
Dr. Dirty (the group was initially called Mr. Dirty but the name was changed to Dr. Dirty because of the use of two D’s for a logo) was the brainchild of guitarist Rob Robins. He explains: “Scot Gaines on bass and myself had been writing for almost a year when we ran into Rhett Forrester in Calgary. He had just finished his time with Rick Plester’s Black Symphony.
We were looking for a singer to do some gigs with. Rhett’s name was brought up and we had a meeting with him, and it seemed like a great fit! We immediately played him the songs we had been working on. Rhett was always great in the studio getting his parts down. Totally pro. No matter what we would throw at him, Rhett always delivered a great performance.”
The actual demo sessions for Dr. Dirty took place from 1992 through to early 1993, some songs recorded in Canada, but others in L.A.
A record label was interested in releasing the album, just when the project split up.
