Free Music Review: The Most Accomplished Rock Music Wordsmith Of His Day Or Any Day!
Hit: 5 Stars
"Suckers walk / Money talks / But it can't touch my three-lock box."
That, my friends, is just one sampling of the profoundly deep and thought-provoking lyrics found throughout this compilation honoring world class wordsmith Sammy Hagar, who was not only unquestionably the most erudite lyricist of his day but may be of any day. How about another so eloquently stated example:
"Crank up the drums / Crank out the bass / ...There's only one way to rock!"
As this quote demonstrates, one of Hagar's lyrical strengths was how much he left open to interpretation--despite multiple suggestions contained within that particular composition, he ultimately leaves it to the listener to deduce that singular way to rock. There are so many layers of depth there. The man is also a master of every facet of wordplay in his poetry: oxymoron, onomatopoeia, puns, satire, dramatic irony, the list goes on.
And of course this volume contains his long-championed vehicular rebellion "I Can't Drive 55", the brilliance of which lingers on in the mind long after listening ("Take my license, all that jive" is still today a catchphrase among Hagar disciples).
But there is so much more to admire here. And it doesn't even scratch the surface of all the poetry he penned as the singer for Van Halen--like "It's got what it takes / So tell me why can't this be love", or "You know my heart is true / Oh whoa, I can't stop loving you". It does not get deeper than that. Hagar's poetry may not be the easiest to grasp on first listen, but that intellectual challenge is what keeps one coming back for more. You can keep Bob Dylan or Jim Morrison; for my money, no rock artist challenges the intellect like Sammy!
