Hey Steve, this is a kick ass CD and blows away anything Jimi did with Survivor. This is quite a bit harder than Survivor actually - sort of in the vein of UFO (there's even a song called 'Only You Can Rock Me') but more American sounding. There's some serious rockers and a couple of ballads as well - all very good. Definitely worth adding to your collection if you can find it. The CD seems to have become quite rare. P.S.: 'First Strike' also features the original version of 'Travelin' Man', which was covered by Gotthard on 'Dial Hard' - the same band Cobra guitarist Mandy Meyer is a (touring) member of now.
