Having liked some of the Winery Dogs stuff I've heard I decided to check out Richie Kotzen's solo stuff on Spotify while doing some DIY around the house at the weekend. Holy Cow, I never realized what a great singer and song writer this guys is!
I always knew him as a shredder from Poison/Mr. Big but his solo stuff is much more soul and pop influenced. There's still some shreddy solos in there but combined with big choruses and catchy hooks makes it really accessible. I'd highly recommend checking him out if you haven't already. It's hard to believe that someone with this much talent gets so little exposure compared to say Joe Bonamassa and John Mayer (not that there's anything wrong with JB & JM)

For the fans here, what's considered his best album?
Seems the talent runs in the family and I fell upon this MGMT cover

Still lusting for a Kotzen Tele.
If you like the harder rock side of Kotzen, check out the Forty Deuce album Nothing to Lose.
I like the funky, soul stuff or something along the lines of The Black Crowes "Remedy". He's certainly turned out a fair few albums.
Cheers
Edit: Crikey, Mother Head's Family Reunion is a real belter. Nice one @Philly_Q
@SimonC - just heard a couple of tracks off of "Cannibals" including the title track and I like that a lot.
I like this live clip
