Have you ever wanted to be a fly on a wall at your favorite band's rehearsal room? Did you ever want to sit down in your favorite band's living room and just jam away with a pair of acoustic guitars? Well, The Tour Bus Road Trip gives you the chance to do so. The Tour Bus Road Trip is a killer compilation of stripped-down acoustic performances recorded live on the highly succesful Hard Rock show, The Tour Bus.

There are plenty of Hard Rock artists on this CD. Joe Lynn Turner's magnificent rendition of Rainbow's "Stone Cold" leads the way and sets the pace for this album. What follows is a slew of fun acoustic renditions of songs and artists we all know and love. Artists included are Mike Tramp (White Lion), Stryper, Bar 7 (Tesla), Doro Pesch, Danger Danger, Ron Keel's Iron Horse, Zebra, and Westworld.

This album is a must have for all Melodic Hard Rock fans, as it's a fun "unplugged" record that everyone will enjoy. It's also a nice change of pace from the bombastic sounds of Hard Rock. Here's looking forward to Vol. 2!

Shred Pick: Westworld - "Suicide"
