When the word got out that The Winery Dogs had formed it was impossible to not get excited. I mean who wouldn't want to hear a power trio made up of lead vocalist/guitarist Richie Kotzen (Poison, Mr Big and a whole bunch of brilliant solo albums), bassist Billy Sheehan (Mr Big, David Lee Roth, Sons Of Apollo, Skills) and drummer Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, Flying Colors, Sons Of Apollo)? What was also quite unclear was how this band would sound. In what genre would they dwell? Lots to be excited about and a few questions. The Winery Dogs did not disappoint. Not one bit. The self-titled debut from 2013 was magnificent. Full of fresh and vital Classic Rock made by brilliant musicians without overdoing the musicianship and focusing on groove and great songs, expectations were of course monumental when it was revealed that a follow-up would come out and that this was actually a real band and not just another all-star project.
