The story of one of the most talented and eclectic Hard/Rock and Metal guitarists, Adrian Vandenberg, it's a highly interesting one.
After starting his own band in the early 80's, called Vandenberg and releasing three albums between 1982 and 1985 that obtained very positive reviews from the European music press and their increasing number of fans worldwide, the Dutch guitarist then decided to disband his own band and to pursue a new guitarist role in the highly rated English Hard/Rock titans Whitesnake, after Whitesnake's frontman David Coverdale was very impressed by Vandenberg's ability and skills not only as a guitarist, but also as a songwriter.

When early this year Bluebird Reviews was made aware that American Blues Giant guitarist and singer/songwriter Omar Dykes had decided to release a mammouth 4 volumes of live performances recorded in the '90s in digital format with his trusted band The Howlers, it felt already very special, for our website and the many thousands of fans that have followed the career of Omar & the Howlers for the last four/five decades, just the fact itself that the Austin-based artist had released some never-heard-before material, although live, since Dykes & The Howlers' 2015 studio album, called The Kitchen Sink.
Back then, The Kitchen Sink sounded really like the swansong of Omar & The Howlers, mostly because Omar Dykes' health had sadly deteriorated, to the point that the legendary Mississippi-born guitarist couldn't perform live any longer.
