Our Take

**Album Review: SMITH/KOTZEN - Better Days... And Nights**

With their debut album *Better Days... And Nights*, Smith/Kotzen have gifted us with a rollercoaster of rock'n'roll emotions. Guitar virtuosos Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen have teamed up to create an album that is part classic rock with a modern twist, part bluesy soul with a touch of metal.

From the opening track "Taking My Chances," you're immediately hit with Smith's iconic melodic guitar riffs and Kotzen's soulful vocals. The chemistry between these two musicians is undeniable, and it's evident in every track on the album.

Songs like "Running" and "Scars" showcase Kotzen's vocal range and Smith's intricate guitar work, while tracks like "Glory Road" and "Solar Fire" bring out the heavier side of the duo's sound. The standout track on the album has to be "Better Days," with its infectious groove and catchy chorus that will have you singing along after just one listen.

Overall, *Better Days... And Nights* is a solid debut from Smith/Kotzen that will satisfy fans of classic rock and metal alike. It's a perfect blend of nostalgia and innovation, and a testament to the incredible talents of both Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen. So grab a drink, turn up the volume, and get ready for a wild ride with Smith/Kotzen. Cheers!
