** III by Chicken Foot – Music of the Rich, For the Rich, and By the Rich

This album suffers from a major problem.  The problem is that there are loads of unknown bands that can play at this level of talent that are almost completely unknown.  I admit this album does have its moments where it is really good.  However, at its core this is same old same old rock n’ roll and I would rather go to a local bar and sit on the bar stool with a front row seat to listen to music like this.  Seriously, I don’t have a lot of money.  The chances I’d have the money to see Chicken Foot live are nil because I have no money.  I can’t believe the audacity of the singer thinking that he has something in common with the common man through adding a track about the woes of common people, as if this would make it okay when they bring in millions of dollars in album sales alone.  The music is worth 3 stars in my opinion, but the mass marketing of this band and its support that it has undeservedly received has this album clocking in at 2 stars IMHO.  I don’t like music of the rich, for the rich, and by the rich.
