Albums Turning 30: Rough Cutt WANTS YOU!
Thank goodness for record labels like Rock Candy, because if you clicked on this article you will probably love 90% of the albums that they have to offer. I saw a post on Facebook about their re-release of the 1986 classic Rough Cutt Wants You! on May 11th. This is a seriously great album by a seriously great band.
Rough Cutt were one of the original L.A. glam metal bands getting their start in 1982. A band that boasts having Jake E Lee, Craig Goldy, and Claude Schnell as former members relied on the classic line-up of Paul Shortino, vocals, David Alford, drums, Chris Hager, guitar, Amir Derakh, guitar, and Matt Thorr, bass for Wants You! So what kept a great band like this from breaking it big, I mean they had Ronnie James Dio as a mentor and Wendy Dio as a manger. I think it was an identity issue that they sat between pop/hard rock and heavy/hard rock. As they tried to straddle that fence they never produced that big hit single that would get them in heavy rotation on MTV. That’s a shame because Wants You! is wonderfully produced by heavy hitter Jack Douglas of Cheap Trick and Aerosmith fame.
