Roxy Blue - Want Some (1992) [Japanese Edition]

History tells that Roxy Blue was discovered by Warrant singer Jani Lane, who helped the guys to get a record deal. Jani did some backing vocals here (as well as the greats Jimi Jamison and Tommy Funderburk) so it’s no surprise that Roxy Blue sounds a lot like Warrant or Trixter, however the Roxy’s were pretty unique, with a bluesy foundation and a bit of an early Van Halen / Skid Row edge.

“Want Some?” is a killer collection of catchy, toe-tapping hard rock tunes with a polished production courtesy of Mike Clink, the who’s responsible for GNR’s Appetite For Destruction.

Speaking of the ‘era’, unfortunately Roxy Blue and “Want Some?” arrived too late into the scene. With quality songs and great musicianship the group deserved more recognition, but aside from “Rob The Cradle” appearing on MTV a few times, grunge had started flooding the mainstream and bands such as Roxy Blue were doomed.
