Sammy Hagar And The Wabos - Livin' It Up (2006) RE-UPPED

Get into the Cabo Wabo spirit with a brand new solo album of high-powered studio material from legendary hard rock frontman and guitarist extraordinaire Sammy Hagar!

Having long ago earned his rock wars stripes as working class foil and foiled Van Halen superstar, Sammy Hagar finally understands who's laughing best. A half-dozen albums into a post-VH second solo career where Hagar has sometimes seemed more like Dorian Grey than Red Rocker Redux, the veteran rocker kicks off his shoes again–along with some longstanding presumptions. Hagar succeeds here by nimbly channeling the Ghost of Jimmy Buffet Whenever–even if the veteran rocker's Gulf of California acoustic blues is about as authentic as Robert Johnson's Delta surfing legend. The opening "Sam I Am" sets the tone, a slice of slide-guitar autobio-blues that borrows from the folks who stole it from the people who nicked it from the southern blues masters; Sammy's "Ice Cream Man," if you can forgive him (and after his greasy cover of Dylan's "Rainy Day Women" you might not). Hagar does a subtler job suggesting the spirit of Brian Wilson via the harmonies of the loping "Living On a Coastline," channels a little faux Tennessee twang into "Halfway to Memphis" before a thoroughly Hagar-ized cover of the Pointers "I'll Take You There" and the surprisingly tender lullaby "Some Day" close the album out on a high note. With tracks like "I Love This Bar" and "One Sip," it's a party-hearty record whose crafty appeal seems to vary in direct proportion to one's number of empty cerveza bottles. This is music with a purpose: to make sunburned drunks dance badly. Sober pale people take heed.

Sometime after his acrimonious departure from Van Halen, Sammy Hagar decided that it would be best if he turned himself into a hard rock version of Jimmy Buffett. Since he already had his Cabo Wabo Cantina in San Lucas, plus his Cabo Wabo tequila, he was already halfway there – he was celebrating the beach as much as he was playing music – but with his 2006 album Livin' It Up! he finally makes the musical transition to full-time beachfront rockin'. Not that this is the manic, balls-out hard rock that made his reputation – taking a cue from Jimmy, Sammy turns the intensity down a couple of notches (after all, you don't want things to be too rough and rowdy on a beach), adds some acoustic guitars, and even some country-rock flair, most notably in his ingenious reworking of Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar." The fact that Sammy is covering a country song about a bar gives a good indication of where he's coming from on Livin' It Up!: he's aiming for the aging rock & rollers who have started listening to country, but still love classic rock (he covers Dylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" and rewrites the Staple Singers' "I'll Take You There" as "Let Me Take You There") and spend most of their time fantasizing about "Living on a Coastline" or "Sailin" to "Mexico" or taking "One Sip" as they drive "Halfway to Mexico," knowing that they'll do this all "Someday." It's silly and obvious – and it also feels like an advertisement for Cabo Wabo enterprises – which would be irritating if the album weren't so much fun. The thing is, Sammy Hagar really believes in Livin' It Up! in this fashion, so nothing feels forced or contrived here, and the greater musical variety not only makes this record more interesting than his last several records, it also makes it more fun to listen to repeatedly. Plus, having the hints of country, blues, and soul scattered among the rock & roll sounds appropriate for a veteran rocker, which Sammy certainly is. But as Livin' It Up! proves, not even veterans need to settle down – an introspective record would sound wrong coming from Hagar, and this nonstop beach party simply sounds right.
