I always cataloged Richie Kotzen guitar heroes among the well boring but ... I've never listened. Simply because when the guy started talking to him, we were super guitarist overdose. So I zapped the guy. Unable to give an opinion on all of his work, I'll just enjoy this beautiful "Essentials," a real pleasure to discover this most excellent musician. As was so well written MF Phan, a nice introduction to the work of Richie Kotzen. Essential and indispensable.
