Info for Radio Free America

Rock and Roll Hall Of Famer Richie Sambora Teams with Female Guitar Goddess Orianthi for a collection of new music mixing blues, pop, rock, country and many more genres.

Most of the songs on Radio Free America were recorded with legendary songwriter/producer Bob Rock (Metallica, Bon Jovi) at Sambora and Orianthi‘s LA home over the past two years, where they have built a recording studio in their kitchen, complete with studio-size speakers, keyboards, computers, and mics. There are amps in the dining room, the living room overflows with racks of guitars, and the home theater has been converted into a drum room. At home, the two have created an inviting world filled with love, friendship, laughter, and passion for music that seeps into these songs.

“I think these songs are about just being human,” Sambora says. “People have more in common with each other than they think. Ori and I have had the chance to see that up close, in front of millions of people around the world, for many years. It’s ingrained in us as songwriters, that desire to transcend language and genre, to play for people, entertain them, and write songs that can be the soundtrack to their lives.”

Over the course of his 30-year career, Sambora has been lauded for his indelible songwriting, powerful vocals and world-class guitar playing. He has sold over 130 million albums worldwide and has co-written over 20 Top 40 hits and 11 Top 10 hits, including “Livin’ On A Prayer,” “You Give Love A Bad Name” and “Wanted Dead or Alive.” Sambora has created some of the most instantly recognizable guitar sounds and penned many of the greatest rock anthems in a generation. Australian guitar virtuoso Orianthi has shared stages with the likes of Michael Jackson, Santana, Prince, ZZ Top and was the first female member of Alice Cooper’s band. They have both written chart-busting singles, toured the globe extensively, collaborated with superstar artists, and released three solo albums each albums (Sambora: 1991’s Stranger in This Town, 1998’s Undiscovered Soul, and 2012’s Aftermath of the Lowdown. Orianthi: 2007’s Violet Journey, 2009’s Believe, and 2013’s Heaven In This Hell).

“The authenticity throughout is palpable.” (Billboard)

“A compelling snapshot of both guitarists musical strengths. Their two voices mesh beautifully, and they lock axes forcefully.” (Guitar World)

"Ultimately, if you listen to “Radio Free America” with an open mind you’ll find plenty here to please. The key is the title; It’s made for Radio, it’s very American, but it’s the sound of artists given free rein away from the expectations of the past. And whilst it doesn’t always work, it is lovely to hear the RS of RSO making music that he believes in again and that needed the O factor, if you will." (Maximum Volume)
