This is a quality follow up to the debut record.New drummer Jeff Martin fits in perfectly,locking in the engine room with the fabulously reliable Greg Chaisson on the bass.This time round theres a bit more emphasis on acoustic(title track Voodoo Highway) & a bit of slide guitar by the amazingly brilliant Jake E Lee,but relax this is QUALITY blues based heavy rock that grooves and smoulders and despite Ray Gillens health issues and deteriorating friendships with the rest of the group,he is on fire again.Brilliant stuff,and another time this would be a certainty for a platinum disc,alas the musical landscape had changed and Bandlands never got the attention,media coverage,or lucky break they deserved,huge pity!Highlights include The Last time, Soul Stealer & 3 Day Funk not forgetting a cover of a James Taylor tune,Fire & Rain & Heavens Train,the album gets stronger the further into it you delve! Of the 3 albums this is arguably the weakest,yet I think that has more to do with the other 2 albums being so very strong,particularly the debut album.

I have to say I was amused by the other reviewer . It's true , this will not be everyone's cup of tea . Not everyone will like the cover version of Fire And Rain , nor the finger picking Joe's Blues . I did , and found that whilst this album didn't attain the heights of the first album , it was good enough , none the less .

VoodooHighway is the second album of the band Badlands based around the late, great Ray Gillen on lead vocals and Ozzy's guitar sidekick, the fantastic Mr. Jake E. Lee. Its a good, gutsy, bluesy chunk of hard rock characterised by great song writing and excellent guitar playing. Opener "The Last Time" has a superb riff that starts quiet and then hits "overdrive" to kick start proceedings. "Show Me the Way" & "Shine On" both showcase Gillen's song writing. "3 Day Funk" on side 2 is indeed funk based with 9th chords and feels like it should have Glenn Hughes on base. "Silver Horses" is another good driving rock song while the cover of James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" is another album highlight.

Bluesier follow up to the classic debut.
With more attention to hooks and melody, this second Badlands album is an even match for the debut.

I bought this when it came out but I don't remember when that was, maybe 1989. I loved Ozzy so I wanted to get everything by any of his guitarists. Read more
