This one is a great record, when it came out I was about to get my drivers license. I like the entire album though, musically I think it still holds up. We all love I can't drive 55, however I think my favorite song is VOA; but I really liked the entire record.
Don't know if anyone really cares, I am just a fan, and for me Sammy's music ROCKS!!!
I say Sammy in Saginaw Michigan on his VOA tour in the Spring of 1985. I cannot find any verification of this date on the web anywhere, but I do know I was definitely there and he rocked for hours. I was on a job in Saginaw at the time and staying at the Hilton. We pulled into the hotel and there were a couple of cool tour buses in the parking lot. Long story short, went to the bar that night, had some scotch with a lad from Scotland (lighting technician with the tour) and scored 6 tickets at the Will Call window. What a great night. I swear it's true even if I can't find anything on that concert now.
Man I just bought VOA and the heart put into the songs are incredible
Another excellent record VOA of the 80´s, this CD highly recommended for fans all over the world, Sammy rocks with this album too.
This should be the driving anthem for every "RED" blooded American male----go Sammy!
I love the production on this album!!!! "Swept away" is my fave off this album, one of Sammys greatest....."Burnin' down the city" is kick-arse.
What an amazing album! Didn't even know about it till I found my dads vinyl LP. Amazing work, one of the best albums I know
One of my favorite Albums, I proposed to my wife while the song Don't Make Me Wait played in the tape deck of my Shelby Dakota.Good Times Then and Good Times Now...
