I Never Said Goodbye is the latest Rock CD put out by the highly talented Sammy Hagar who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Sammy Hagar fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.
Rock music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Hagar on several of the tracks. Artists like Eddie Van Halen and David Thoener just to name a couple.
I’m of the opinion that I Never Said Goodbye is certainly Sammy Hagar’s best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it’s a collection that even the casual Rock fan can appreciate and enjoy.
While the entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 1 - When The Hammer Falls, track 2 - Hands And Knees, and track 6 - Standin' At The Same Old Crossroads
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 10 - What They Gonna Say Now. Outstanding!
