117 DEGREES reunites ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist Stradlin with Gunners bassist Duff McKagan on a set of sturdy rock 'n' roll tunes that deliberately bypasses any contemporary bandwagon jumping. Between Stradlin's whiskey-soaked voice and inspired guitar twang, songs such as "Ain't It A Bitch" and "Bleedin" are an obvious pipeline to the Stones right down to an amped-up cover of Chuck Berry's "Memphis." To his credit, our hero reaches beyond the Stones into the jackhammer tempos of Motorhead ("Grunt") and mandolin-flavored songs reminiscent of John Mellencamp ("Old Hat"). The addition of Reverend Horton Heat drummer Taz Bentley allows Stradlin to tackle rockabilly scrapers ("Up Jumped The Devil"), old-time country laments ("Here Before You") and wild surf music ("Methanol," "Surf Roach").
