Just some trace of what GNR was.......2007-04-10
"Safe" Rock.......2006-06-04
I think there are a few ways you can approach this disc. You can be an all out GnR fan or one of those people who read guitar mags & fancy themselves relating to a "real" musician, or you can be someone out looking for some good, dirty, partying rocknroll. I checked this out as one of the former and that's how I'm basing my review.
This comes across to me as an album made by a hard-living rocknroller who has decided to "get serious". The songs are too polished sounding. It doesn't have a sloppy, boozy, fun sound a la the Faces or the NY Dolls. It sounds more John Mellancamp than Johnny Thunders. And I guess that's fine if that's what you enjoy. I really don't think it's a bad album (I would really give it 2 1/2 stars), but I'm reading reviews comparing it to "Exile on Main Street"!
Now with a comparison like that, and with guest appearances by 2(!) ex- Faces, I bought this expecting something a bit more. But what I found was something more technical, polished, and blues-rock-by-numbers then I really care for. And that's why I'm writng this, because I get the impression that this recording is trying to come across as a rocker in the "Sticky Fingers" zone.
So if you're like me, take this as a warning that this disc isn't quite what a lot of people make it out to be. If you like your bluesy rocknroll a bit harder (and a lot more real), I suggest checking out the Waldos "Rent Party" cd.
A gem!.......2006-03-23

Q: Where did the songwriting talent in G'n'R lie?.......2005-11-10
This was released very shortly after leaving Gunners. The fact that Izzy can create a masterpiece in a few months with a bunch of no-names, makes Chinese Democracy look even more of a farce (if that were at all possible). The ultimate tragedy of the Guns 'n' Roses disintegration is that the general public were largely deprived the genius of this man, largely due to his own dislike of publicity and minimal promotion of the album. I'm just thankful that I managed to get my hands on a copy.

Axl Rose sailed off into the operatic stratosphere. Slash sank down into the arena-metal mud. The only member of late supergroup Guns N' Roses to get it garage-rock right, in fact, was rhythm guitarist Stradlin, who hooked up with fellow riff worshipper Rick (Georgia Satellites) Richards for some of the best down 'n' dirty picking this side of Exile on Main Street. This sophomore release is sloppy, scratchy, and growling with gut-level blues-rock. Stradlin pays homage to longtime influence Ron Wood by aping his speedball cover of Chuck Berry's "Memphis." Naysayers may tut that Stradlin can't really sing too well. But that's exactly the point. He's singing anyway, naysayers be damned. --Tom LanhamAlbum Description
Import edition of the ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist's 1998 album for Geffen. 14 tracks including, 'Ain't It a Bitch', 'Gotta Say' & 'Memphis' (Chuck Berry).Customer Reviews:
Is this Stradlin's peak?.......2006-05-28
This album takes the best of Izzy. Or maybe I'm wrong... I also like very much "Izzy Stradlin' and the Ju Ju Hounds" so I wouldn;t be able to say which one is better than the other. What a great guitar introduction on "Ain't it a bitch" a classical rock guitar, no those freaking and annoying guitars we can hear very often from those teenager bands. The album goes faster with "Memphis" still a great beginning, I'm loving this album so far... some soft as "Old Hat" and "Bleedin'" but then a drum announces "Parasite". "Here Before You" sounds like a masterpiece classic of rock and roll... what a song. "Up Jumped the Devil" is so nice too, I love that guitar! "Freight Train" reminded me GN'R's hit "Nightrain" but then I realized it was Izzy's style... unique. "Surf Roach" and "Grunt" sound quite cool for the musitians, well done folks!
So, in conclusion... if you're a teenager and looking for something that maybe you won;t remember in 5 years or you'll be able to tell, you are looking the wrong album. If you wanna listen to some REAL rock music and of course, good stuff... the music that makes rock and roll so cool, then try this one. You won't feel dissapointed. Remember the success of the GN'R? Well, I gotta remind you that Izzy Stradlin' was tha genius of that band, guitar player and the main composer... when he left, the band went down and we all know what happened.
Enjoy it.
Izzy goes rock-a-billy.......2006-03-29
"117*" isn't all that much different from Izzy's debut "Izzy Stradlin' and the Ju Ju Hounds." It shows the same kind of Stones/Faces signature, but with a considerable more amount of rock-a-billy thrown in the mix. "117* isn't the most ambitious, challenging or ground-breaking albums ever created, but it's still a finely-crafted collection of songs showcasing Izzy's unique signature and charm. Fans of GN'R and/or hard rock may be disappointed with this album, but fans of rock-a-billy, old-school country, and Izzy's debut will find much to appreciate.

quit with the griping .......2006-02-25
this is my second stradlin album my first was "izzy and the ju ju hounds"
but this beats that by an inch, for the pure essence of stradlin puttin' his heart and soil into writin' catchy melodies with a great band to back him up with duff mckagan playin' bass and acostic guitar..
i just wish people would give izzy stradlin a chance and not be narrowed minded and fobe off an ex-member of a famous hard rock hair metal band..as a bad man's rolllin' stone
this guy beats the sh88 out of most of the whipper snappers in diapers these days..
god bless IZZY STRADLIN get his damn albums muthafuka's
Solid Tunes, Terrible Production.......2005-10-03
Once again, too much country/blues not enough rock and roll.......2005-01-13
The two reggae songs, "Shall Walk" and "Run-In", are cool and interesting but not enough to legitimize this album's steep import price.
Hey Izzy, you are supposed to be a rock and roll guitarist, so cut out this hokey country/Rolling Stones thing and do a rock album for once.
Izzy Stradlin's first album with the Ju Ju Hounds was very good, underated completely, one of the best rock albums of the 1990s, but it's been all downhill since for Izzy.
If you can get this album used and cheap, then go ahead, otherwise save your money.
Pretty Solid effort.......2004-09-04
So-so.......2003-12-02
I prefer Izzy's previous blend of rock n' roll, hard rock and acoustic blues-rock, which you'll find on the two albums mentioned above, but "River" has its moments as well. There's just a little bit too far between them, and most of these cuts, while not bad, aren't all that memorable.
(Izzy's latest album, "On Down The Road", recaptures most of his early-90s glory, however. Try listening to that one - provided you already have "Ju Ju Hounds"!)

Album Details
The Third Outing from the Former Guns N Roses Guitarist is Yet More Evidence as to who in that Band Embodied the Real Essence of Rock N Roll. Stradlin Gets Down and Dirty Once More with his Gut Wrenching Chords and Power Tunes. It May Be Axl-less, but it Carries on the Spirit and the Fire that Used to Be One of the Best with One of the Best There Is.Customer Reviews:
If you like Rolling Stones or Black Crowes then here it is.......2005-01-21
When I listen to Izzy's recent albums (117 degrees, River, and On Down the Road), I haven't yet heard Ride On, I feel it's kind of like listening to Paul McCartney without John Lennon. Izzy needs a hard rock edge to his music, in other words, he needs a Slash or Axl to liven up his songs.
Most of his songs are just too folksy. Too much sliding guitar riffs. It sounds like a southern rock/country album, which is fine if that's the market he wants to cater to. I just really wish he would put some heavy artillery into his songs, something more like Appetite for Destruction where the songs just grabbed you and really got you excited.
This album has four good songs: Monkeys, Sweet Caress, Coke'n, and Lot To Learn. It also includes a cover of the Rolling Stones song "Please Go Home".
Overall, you should get the album just for the song Sweet Caress alone. Otherwise, don't expect another GNR album here, even with Duff McKagan playing bass.
rocks off.......2004-11-19
BEST IZZY ALBUM - AMAZINGLY UNDERRATED!!!!.......2004-07-10
Izzy was to Guns n Roses what Dee Dee was to the Ramones: the heart of the band as far as writing the songs.
Every album he has recorded is a good (if not great) example of how good and simple rock can be;
This album, On Down The Road, his fifth solo album, is no different. Actually, it is the best he's ever recorded, because it has THE BEST SONG OF THE LAST TEN YEARS on it: Sweet Caress. What a nice song! It is so beautiful! Just as good as Patience, if not better.
The album has also other GREAT tracks, like You Betcha (great rocker), Monkey's ("This town is full of monkeys, living in a zoo"), On Down The Road (another great laid-back rocker Izzy-style), Coke'n (yet another good track) and Lot To Learn (this is almost as good as Sweet Caress).
And Izzy sings better than EVER!
The other tracks are NOT on the superb level of these, but are definetely GOOD, wich makes this album - as HIGH PRICED as it is - a VERY worthy purchase!
Oh, if you happen to enjoy good rock, get your hands also on Dee Dee Ramone's album "I hate freaks like you". IT IS SO GOOD, and just like this album, very, very UNKNOWN to pretty much everyone.
His best since "117 Degrees".......2003-07-30
It doesn't have quite as many memorable songs, and it is perhaps less musically versatile, but "On Down The Road" holds its own with tracks like the tough rocker "You Bet'Cha", the ballad "Sweet Caress", the fine, acoustic "Got Some News", a cover of the Glimmer Twins' "Please Go Home", and the driving title track.
It is almost on par with Izzy's fine second album, "117 Degrees", and better, more varied, and more accessible (in my opinion) than his two Japanese albums "Ride On" and "River".
3 1/2 stars (and when it's .5 you round up to the nearest whole number!).
Good enough for me!.......2003-04-17

Not as good as previous efforts.......2003-12-02
I prefer Izzy's previous blend of hard rock and acoustic blues-rock, but "Ride On" has its moments as well. There's just a little bit too far between them.
Izzy's Best Album!.......2000-08-13
If you were in it just for the singles, the price may be too steep. As was the case on his previous two albums, Izzy's vocals are mediocre. The same can be said for Izzy's lyrics. They are vague, often repetitive and generally uninspired. This is most evident on "California," "Primitive Man," "Here Comes the Rain" and "Hometown", all of which are very strong musically but lack the lyrics to match. In addition, Izzy lacks Axl's ability to be occassionally poetic or even romantic.
Overall, if you're a fan who needs a strong power ballad on every album, look elsewhere. But if you're like me and think ballads are just a nice way of using terraced dynamics to make a great guitar solo stand out, this is for you. It's the closest glimpse of what GNR could have been if they did not break up.
