10X10

10X10
- Shrink-wrapped
Before his untimely death in 2012, renowned American rock guitarist Ronnie Montrose began recording an ambitious passion project with bassist Ricky Phillips (Styx, Bad English) and drummer Eric Singer (Kiss, Alice Cooper). The idea was to record 10 songs with 10 different singers and call the album 10X10. Sadly, Montrose was unable to see the album through during his lifetime. Instead, Phillips made it his mission to finish the songs by enlisting a small army of Ronnieâ€™s musician friends to record the vocals and the guitar solos for each song, completing the album in recent years.Â

Phillips says the songs represent some of Montroseâ€™s best work. â€œHis songs still have the fire and angst of a young rebel, but with some added wisdom and foresight voiced in his own unique language of â€˜guitar-speak.â€™ On 10X10, we hear Ronnie at the top of his game, from the opening crunch guitar of â€˜Heavy Traffic,â€™ all the way to the closing song, â€˜Iâ€™m Not Lying,â€™ which was Ronnieâ€™s tip of the hat to his friend Robin Trower.â€
10x10 features inspired pairings, like Deep Purple singer Glenn Hughes with Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen (â€œStill Singinâ€™ With The Bandâ€) and singer Sammy Hagar with Toto guitarist Steve Lukather (â€œColor Blindâ€). Legendary blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa also showcases his guitar talents on the track â€œThe Kingdomâ€™s Come Undoneâ€ with Ricky Phillips on vocals. A few artists both sing and play, like Edgar Winter (â€œLove Is An Artâ€) and Tommy Shaw (â€œStrong Enoughâ€).
