"Izzy Stradlin & The Ju Ju Hounds" is the first album by former Guns N' Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin. This is a great, raw and raunchy slice of rock and roll, in the style of The Rolling Stones, and filled with good guitar work from Izzy himself and lead guitarist Rick Richards, formerly of The Georgia Satellites. If you've listened to the track "Dust n' Bones", sung by Izzy on Guns n' Roses' album "Use Your Illusion I", you'll have a pretty good idea what to expect. But still, this is NOT Guns n' Roses revisited, and thank heavens for that! This album is filled with solid, straightforward rock and roll, and Izzy has cultivated a hoarse, nasal vocal style which actually suits the songs pretty well. Izzy Stradlin was never as extrovert or as carismatic as Axl Rose or fellow Guns n' Roses guitarist Slash, but he is a better (and less pretentious) songwriter by far, and this is a truly great, timeless rock and roll album.
