An official lyric video for the song, Color Blind from Ronnie Montrose’s, 10X10, has been released. The song, featuring Sammy Hagar & Steve Lukather, can be viewed below.
Before his untimely death in 2012, renowned American rock guitarist Ronnie Montrose began recording an ambitious passion project with bassist Ricky Phillips (Styx, Bad English) and drummer Eric Singer (KISS, Alice Cooper). The idea was to record 10 songs with 10 different singers and call the album 10X10. Sadly, Montrose was unable to see the album through during his lifetime. Instead, Phillips made it his mission to finish the songs by enlisting a small army of Ronnie’s musician friends to record the vocals and the guitar solos for each song, completing the album in recent years.
The album was released on 29th through Rhino. Read more about the release, here.
In addition to 10X10Montrose (1973) and Paper Money (1974).

I’ve always been a fan of Ronnie Montrose, and I’ll be a Redhead till I’m dead, but this song? I’m just gonna pretend I never heard it.
Steve Lukather is one of the most devastating guitar players of all time. Because he played on a lot of pop songs, he’s not thought of as a shredder, but he is.
He will be on my radio show soon. Just spoke with him
every song on the album is really really good -that is so rare anymore, Ronnie Montrose was an amazing guitarist I love the album!
