'this collaboration gave him [Sambora] the artistic freedom tocompose a more personal collection of songs than thestadium-filling chart monsters that made him famous.'

'Aftermath of the Lowdown' has all of the gutsy spirit,soaring guitar parts and rousing melodies that make Sambora a musiclegend. Lyrically, he tackles the universal tribulations ofdivorce, substance abuse, single parenthood, independence andself-reliance. 

"A lot has happened in my life over the last ten years,personal stuff that's cathartic for me to get out," saysSambora.  "Really things that could happen to anybody, butI just happened to be in a band with the biggest concert tour inthe world, and in the glare of the public eye." 

With Ebben as co-writer and producer, whose track record includesworking with Bon Jovi, MelissaEtheridge and All American Rejects,Sambora recruited A-list musicians AaronSterling (drums), MattRollings (piano/organ), CurtSchneider (bass), RustyAnderson (guitar), and Roger JosephManning, Jr. (keyboards) to work on the songs andbring 'Aftermath of the Lowdown' to blisteringly perfectfruition.
