\"jeffBeing the guitarist for one of the \u201880s most popular metals bands, Jeff Labar of Cinderella releases a raw rock album One For the Road that has Jeff on vocals, guitars, keyboards and bass with various drummers (Troy Lucketta, Chris Williams, Cheney Brannon and Ronnie Honeycutt). On Rat Pak Records, the album was released on Aug. 26. Produced by Jeff, engineered by Ronnie Honeycutt and mixed by Chris \u201cThe Wizard\u201d Collier, while Fred Coury produced \u201cNo Strings.\u201d It shows a mix of Jeff\u2019s influence of his music.<\/p>\n

The seven-track album, two with just guitar compositions starts off with the song “No Strings.” The message of the song is, I am independent and will do what I have to do. The next song \u201cAsking For A Beating\u201d about the early years of relationships with a catchy second part of the song: \u201cWhen we fucked & then you spoke oh how I hated you.\u201d Where she can throw her verbal message yet can\u2019t accept it from the other side. \u201cMuse\u201d is an acoustic guitar composition. \u201cHello Or Goodbye\u201d is about alone traveling alone missing your partner and not knowing where the relationship status is. \u201cOde to Page\u201d is an influence to Jeff\u2019s guitar playing. <\/p>\n

\u201cNightmare On My Street\u201d is the idea that you can be a good child through the years, but mental conditions change as we get older and that can lead you to harm others and yourself. The last track “One For The Road\u201d is letting alcohol be your friend and enemy on your body (emotion and physically). Sitting at a bar or pub with others yet still alone, waiting for last call as the place closes for the night. As we say, \u201cI will take the last one for the road to feel numbness from the pain.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is music Jeff should have put out 20 years ago. With the flame burning and eruptions inside of him to release more of his songs, he should release more music after this album.<\/p>\n
