Product Description
Album Description
Living in Los Angeles, Vivian had immersed himself in the world of the local blues-club circuit, quite a change from the intricate arrangements, multi-overdubs and state of the art production values of Def Leppard. The spontaneity and "one-take" urgency of the true blues genre dictated a specific new set of rules that would be applied during the making of "Two Sides Of If."
Rule number one: it had to be recorded LIVE in the studio, being sure to always maintain eye contact between all of the musicians. This meant Vivian singing lead vocals while playing solo guitar - no overdubs allowed.....
Rule number two: have fun and fly by the seat of your pants. With wish-list players like Terry Bozzio on drums, and Billy Gibbons and Joan Osborne making guest appearances, the sessions were inspired and the end result is "Two Sides Of If."

The Def Leppard guitar man has produced a pretty good rhythm & blues album, and even covers two Robert Johnson tracks. My favourite of the album is the last song but overall it is a great listening experience. Only issue is maybe the voice, he is not a real singer of course but ok, it is acceptable. I like this cd, I often play it in the car. If you like good rock this is for you to discover. If you like blues you know all the songs, and Vivian does a good job. Recommended.

Excellent cover versions of some old Blues songs. With Joan Osbourne as guest vocalist one track.

Vivian Campbell first came to my attention playing for Irish metal outfit Sweet Savage and went on to record 2 of the best metal albums of the 80s in Holy Diver and The Last In Line with the now sadly departed Dio.
His playing back then was inspirational,interesting and distinctive.
This is what happens when you lose your sense of direction,yet another middle of the road blues album.This is dull,uninspired and falls way short of what Vivian used to produce.Then again he does play for pop rockers Leppard these days so maybe I expected too much.
My advice stick to the day job,it may be as cliched but at least it's less boring than this tosh!!
