## Description

Richie Kotzen personally curated &quot;&quot;The Essential Richie Kotzen&quot;&quot; from his 18 solo albums in order to give listeners the most comprehensive, cohesive, and concise introduction to his extensive body of work. &#x201C;I&#x2019;ve really changed and grown as an artist and as a person,&#x201D; he goes on. &#x201C;I hand selected a bunch of songs so newcomers can get into my music and learn who I am as a recording artist.&#x201D; In addition to the requisite hits, acoustic performances, bootleg material and music videos, &quot;&quot;The Essential Richie Kotzen &quot;&quot;boasts two brand new songs &#x201C;War Paint&#x201D; and &#x201C;Walk With Me.&#x201D; &#x201C;War Paint&#x201D; builds from an opening bluesy riff into a bombastic chorus punctuated by Kotzen&#x2019;s gravelly delivery and impeccable lead playing. He explains, &#x201C;It was a challenge to make a studio recording sound like a live band with only one musician playing all the instruments. I think I accomplished that on this track.&#x201D; At the same time, &#x201C;Walk With Me&#x201D; sees Kotzen evolving once more and incorporating a Theremin, an antique electronic instrument, into an emotive and engaging anthem. &#x201C;There was a specific sound I was hearing in the song,&#x201D; he reveals. &#x201C;I realized it was a Theremin, so I bought one. I spent a couple of weeks learning it. I used that where the lead guitar would normally go. It was a really rewarding departure for me.&#x201D; With his 20th full-length solo album on the horizon for 2015 and countless gigs, Richie Kotzen&#x2019;s legacy is only continuing to expand. &#x201C;When you perform, record, or write, you go to a different place,&#x201D; he concludes. &#x201C;It&#x2019;s another world. I love hearing people react to the music and lyrics. That&#x2019;s the best bonus. I can&#x2019;t wait to give the world even more songs.&#x201D; The Essential Richie Kotzen is available in an exclusive 2CD+DVD set.
