SAMMY HAGAR – This Is Sammy Hagar Volume 1 : When The Party Started (2016)

“This Is Sammy Hagar Volume 1 : When The Party Started“, is the new compilation album showcasing 12 highlights from SAMMY HAGAR‘s catalogue, some of them remixed, plus 2 brand new tracks.
The collection, which starts from his solo album post Van Halen, ‘Red Voodoo’ in 1999, through to ‘Livin’ It Up’ in 2006, also includes a new remix of ‘Sam I Am’, which will be the new theme song for season two of his acclaimed TV show ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Road Trip’.
The CD features as well two new Hagar-penned tracks; “No Worries” and “I Never Got To Say Goodbye”.

“With this collection, I wanted to revisit the music which would come to redefine my career post Van Halen,” explained Hagar. “It was the first time since I’d joined Montrose in 1972 that I was free from the weight of being in a superstar, high-pressure band and the commercial machine that came with it.
I was not interested in the big recording industry machine, well known producers, or major label A&R people telling me what to do.
In fact, when I finished some songs I ran them by my friends at major labels, they would all say “this is not what we want from Sammy Hagar”. And I would say “but THIS IS SAMMY HAGAR, this is who Sammy Hagar is today!”.

This is when the party started; I played hundreds, maybe thousands, of shows anywhere and everywhere without a set list and built a hard-core following of ‘Redheads’. They were really into what we were doing.
These are some of the special songs, and some of the special times in my musical life, that I want to share with you in this special collection.”

The collection, released in time for the holidays, offers fans of the multi-platinum recording artist, Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee and Grammy-winning singer and songwriter an introspective and always entertaining playlist which has been personally curated by The Red Rocker.
