Masterclass Criss Voss

Let Me Rock You is the third album released by former Kiss drummer Peter Criss. Due to poor sales for his previous album, Out of Control, Let Me Rock You was not released in the United States until 1998, when it was reissued on CD. The album was produced by Vini Poncia, who previously produced Criss's 1978 solo album (officially released as a Kiss album). Let Me Rock You features the song "Feels Like Heaven", written by Criss's former bandmate, Gene Simmons. Vinnie Cusano also co-wrote a song for the album; at the same year the album was released, Cusano became known as Vinnie Vincent when he replaced Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley. The album cover features Peter Criss for the first time without his Kiss makeup, as he didn't appear on the cover of his solo album Out of Control. One year later, Kiss also decided to take off their makeup for their Lick It Up album.

In 1966 producer Don Schlitten imported Sonny Criss to New York for a recording session with a rhythm section handpicked for their ability to swing and for their understanding of the bebop methods that drove Criss. Determined to enhance the career of an alto saxophonist he considered an overlooked genius of the modern era, Schlitten thus provided the circumstance for one of Criss's great albums. To many listeners, This Is Criss! was a revelation; it presented a fully matured soloist who had overcome the uneven conception and time problems that many of them remembered from his brilliant but erratic earlier work. Highlights include the grit and emotional directness of his playing on the blues and his inventiveness on the beautiful and harmonically demanding "Skylark".

I ALWAYS KNEW THAT IF I EVER MADE A CHRISTMAS ALBUM, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE MUCH MORE THAN JUST A COLLECTION OF SONGS YOU ALREADY KNEW, I’D WANT IT TO BE A JOURNEY THROUGH SONGS THAT NOT ONLY HAD A PERSONAL SIGNIFICANCE TO MY LIFE, BUT ALSO A UNIQUE INTRODUCTION TO SONGS FOLKS HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE, AND A RE-INTRODUCTION TO A FEW THEY MIGHT THINK THEY KNOW- BUT HAVE NEVER CONSIDERED DIFFERENTLY. EVERY ECLECTIC CHOICE LED THIS ALBUM TO FEEL ASTUTELY TRUE TO ITS NAMESAKE: A VERY, INDISPUTABLY, ‘ME’ CHRISTMAS.

Cat #1 is the fourth solo studio album released by former Kiss drummer Peter Criss, and first under the band name Criss. Criss re-recorded the Kiss song "Beth" for the album. Unlike the orchestrated original version, the new recording was an acoustic version. The album also features former-Kiss bandmate Ace Frehley playing guitar on three tracks. In 1993, Criss released a special limited edition preview EP of his forthcoming album. Three tracks were released on the 1994 CD and two tracks were only available on the limited edition. For the cover art, it was Criss' idea to paint half of his face in his original Kiss makeup, while leaving the other half plain. The idea was to link past and present.
