Sammy Hagar has revealed details of his first solo acoustic record.
The Red Rocker will release Lite Roast on October 13th through Mailboat Records. He is joined on the record by Vic Johnson, guitarist with Hagar’s backing band Waboritas.
Former Van Halen and Montrose singer Hagar says, “I realize that when I played my songs acoustically, it made me sing different. It brought a new light to the lyrics that I’d written throughout my career.
It’s very live, very personal, with Vic accompanying me on guitar and singing background vocals. No overdubs. I think that my hardcore fans are really going to love it.”
Hagar decided to make the acoustic album – which features versions of tracks from throughout his career – after taking part in this year’s Acoustic-4-A-Cure concert in San Francisco.
Lite Roast tracklist:
1. Red Voodoo
2. One Sip
3. Finish What Ya Started
4. Eagles Fly
5. The Love
6. Father Son
7. Dreams
8. Deeper Kinda Love
9. Who Has The Right
10. Sailin’
11. Halfway To Memphis

Considering that I think he helped to make VH a bore, not gonna check this out.
Why wouldn’t he put “Give To Live” on this?
I always thought it was his best song and it would work well acoustically.
Yes he sings better than anybody over 50 but give me a break, try new great material. Jimmy Buffett puts out boring new albums and is into Brown Eyed Girl and Southern Cross every show to feed the masses.
Lee,
Let me add this to the conversation, not only is he the hardest working person in the music business he donates every freaking penny from anything he does to the local food banks in that venues area. All proceeds form this work are to help out Cabo from the Hurricane. You have to be a DLR lover or one of those that think it was Sammy who ruined VH, (which is so stupid) I never understood that.
As for new great material I guess you have never heard of CHICKENFOOT ?
It’s incredible to think that Sammy is in his late sixties and is as good of a performer and singer as ever. I saw him on the VOA tour when he wore that stupid jumpsuit and boots (it looked like he stole RonaldMcDonald’s clothes) and he’s as good or better now than he was then, thankfully minus the goofy jumpsuit.
I would seriously doubt that..
