Richie Kotzen - Telecasters & Stratocasters: Klassic Kotzen (Box Set, 3 CD) (2018) CD-Rip

A box set featuring four Richie Kotzen albums from 1996 to 1999. A must-have collection from world renowned singer / songwriter and musician Richie Kotzen. The three-CD box contains the albums 1999 Break It All Down, 1997 Something To Say and 1998 What Is, as well as bonus tracks from the 1996 Wave Of Emotion album. Boxing gets its name from the fact that Kotzen has used Fender electric guitars for most of his career, most notably his signature Telecasters and Stratocasters models, as well as other bespoke models.
"1997 Something To Say" is fresh but at the same time has a truly classic sound; listening to this episode is like bumping into a friend you haven't seen for a long time. "1998 What Is" showcases the depth and breadth of Kotzen's musicality and songwriting, there is not a single wasted moment on this record. The third in the 1999 Break It All Down trio, as the name suggests, is the result of Kotzen following his heart and rewriting several rules along the way. When you add bonus tracks from Wave Of Emotion (1996), "Telecasters & Stratocasters: Klassic Kotzen" conjures up a true portrait of the artist.
He spent several years honing his own unique sound and playing style, working tirelessly to perfect the art of guitar, and it paid off when he signed to Shrapnel Records at the age of 19. From that moment on, he can no longer be stopped and his success continues to this day. Kotzen has released a long series of over twenty albums with an impressive musical variety, from rock, hard rock, pop, blues, soul, R&B to funk and jazz fusion. He has been a member of many successful bands including Poison, Mr Big and The Winery Dogs. "Telecasters & Stratocasters: Klassic Kotzen" is a compilation of some of his best moments not to be missed!
