This week we offer up the 9th installment of our series called, “Degrees Of Separation…” where we discuss the more obscure side projects and solo releases from some not-so-obscure artists. This time around we are paying homage to one of the original classic rock gunslingers that helped design the template for hard rock in the 80s and beyond: the amazingly talented RONNIE MONTROSE! While he’s no longer with us, his spirit carries on in strength and numbers in his vast body of work from the various bands he fronted or participated in.

New to InObscuria? It’s all about digging up obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal from one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. While we may be talking about a band or artist that many of you know in this episode, perhaps you are not aware of the depth of side projects he has had over his long career. Our hope is that we turn you on to something new!

1. The Edgar Winter Group - “Undercover Man” from They Only Come Out At Night (1972)
2. Montrose - “Make It Last” from Montrose (1973)
