Bret Michaels - Jammin' With Friends Negative (is that possible? Negative nothing?)Thanks Bret for one of the worst record projects evah. I am still literally in awe how bad Jammin’ With Friends is. Where do I begin. Let me start off by saying, I’ve been a fan of Poison pretty much from the beginning. All 4 members bring an ingredient and talent to the band to make Poison stand out. Including the pretty awesome voice of Michaels.
None of that to be found here. I can only think Michaels is either wasted or stroking in own ego and not aware. He actually talks one song. Many of others, he barely gets into singing, if that’s what you can call it. The recordings are abysmal. The whole thing sounds like a teenage garage band recording anything that they attempt to play. The guest artists (Loretta Lynn, Jimmy Buffett, Edwin McCain, Miley Cyrus, Michael Anthony and many more) definitely do not raise the level, but in fact make the head implode with a huge WTF.
Worse is his attempt to reinterpret his Poison music with a country perspective. Holy gawd, what a cluster. I cannot express how bad this is. I know I’ve reviewed albums, especially pop stuff, I made an attempt to at least a listen, despite it not being on my radar… thus shagging it pretty badly. This is just horrendous for any ear.
