2009 release. United States marks the first collaboration between Racer X's Paul Gilbert and vocalist/guitarist Freddie Nelson. The music ranges from Arena-Rock anthems to '70s Glam groovers, to lush vocal Pop gems, to heavy power pop: all with plenty of Paul Gilbert's guitar solos and Freddie's soaring vocals. Guitar fanatics still have plenty of pyrotechnics to enjoy, but mostly this is a melodious, grooving listenable album for ALL Rock fans.
