Episode 109: Richie Kotzen

Talkin‘ the Talk With Don

Poison, Mother Head's Family Reunion, Winery Dogs, Mr. Big, Smith/Kotzen, and highly regarded and iconic solo artist. Exhausted yet? Being in ONE band was enough to wear me down but for Richie Kotzen, wearing many different hats and staying busy is what he does. Richie recently released a new song called "Cheap Shots" and it's classic Richie. Soulful, gritty, and full of 'tude, "Cheap Shots" is a testament to the fact that he is nowhere near being done.

This was my 2nd time talking to Richie and he's a great human being and a great conversationalist. We bonded over our love for Dobermans and also talked about the new song and why it's just better to not know the story behind a song and to create you own narrative for it. Once again, a great talk with Richie Kotzen and I'm already looking forward to the next one.

Enjoy, y'all.
