Damon Johnson never wanted to be a solo artist. He was happy with his resume of Brother Cane, Black Star Riders, Alice Cooper, Thin Lizzy, and many other great gigs. But now with his new solo album, "Memoirs of an Uprising," he has found new purpose.

Damon takes us through his journey, including how Eric Dover recommended him to Alice Cooper, when he took over for Richard Fortus in Thin Lizzy, writing with West Arkeen, the PledgeMusic debacle, and much much more!

Special co-host is Bill Powell, Associate Producer for the nationally syndicated radio show "hardDrive XL with Lou Brutus."
