THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
CHICKENFOOT...Chickenfoot (2009)
(CD, vinyl, Allmusic review)

This record reached number 4 on the U.S. Billboard album charts. Whenever a group of guys from other bands and/or solo artist join those guys people like to call them a supergroup. I don't look at it like that. i think bands like Black Country Communion, Them Crooked Vultures and Chickenfoot are super simply because of their music. This particular album is absolutely fantastic. Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Chad Smith are just a bunch of guys in a band that ROCK!!! This album is highly recommended. Check out "Oh Yeah," "My Kinda Girl" and "Soap On A Rope."
