First off, I'm very excited to share to anybody who cares about the first full-length solo outing of this great Canadian rocker Kim Mitchell. The title of the album is Akimbo Alogo and what an album it is! Unlike most of the music of today (it was released in 1984 - 24 years ago), this one won't treat you like a moron (Hannah Montana anyone?). From the opening track "Go For Soda" which was adapted as the theme song of Mothers Against Drunk Driving I already felt this record would be something special and not just recorded and released just to make some artist popular or for the label to amass money from rock n'roll spoon-fed public. Great guitar playing, too; check out Mitchell's solo on "Love Ties". It's not as bombastic as any Vai and Bettencourt solos but really fluid. But the song that will bring tears to your eyes is the track "All We Are". Just excellent.
This one is not really that hard to find. Check out eBay and you can score it cheap and even SEALED! I got mine second hand and some idiot wrote his name and address on the front insert. Now go check it out!
