Having blown so many away with his 2021 solo debut Mammoth WVH, Wolfgang Van Halen is poised to do it again with this one. Recording in his late father’s 5150 Studio once again, he was accompanied only by the technical crew, led by his friend Michael ‘Elvis’ Baskette as producer, the man he first recorded with in 2014, working on the second Tremonti album.
Imagine how difficult it is to do this all on your own – having no one else to come up with a great riff or a clever lyric, play keyboards or drums or deliver the odd brooding bass line. Imagine what skill it took to build up this record layer by layer. Even polymaths such as Mike Oldfield, Pete Townshend and Todd Rundgren got others to chip in.
