Jerry Gaskill -
Love & Scars (Rat Pak Records); solo album from King's X drummer, which manages to sound pretty King's X-y despite no Pinnick or Tabor. A particularly triumphant release considering Mr. Gaskill's two heart attacks in recent years; he also lost his home/all possessions to Hurricane Sandy.
