Project: Driver represent Shrapnel Records` 1986 super group release teaming Tony MacAlpine on guitars and keyboards, Tommy Aldridge on drums, vocals by Rob Rock and Rudy Sarzo on bass. These long-awaited super sessions feature amazing guitar work, thunderous rhythm-section work, and intense vocals. Project: Driver is an album rich in advanced guitar techniques, and was apparently too heavy and progressive for most major labels. If you didn`t buy it in the `80s, you have probably forgotten how killer the MacAlpine solos were - check out this record!
