Red Voodoo (1999)

On the first track of his second post-Van Halen solo effort, Red Voodoo, Hagar promises to tell us ''a little story about the way we like to party,'' while the chorus of the second song asserts, ''You make me wanna/Shag you, baby.'' Yup, it's that kind of album, all leering rock-stud vocals and big, greasy guitar riffs, with a couple of ballads tossed in to offset the crunch. The overall effect is akin to a dumbed-down Aerosmith, but if unabashedly lowbrow arena rock gets your mojo workin,' Voodoo should do you fine. B-
