Album Description
The nineties continued to be groundbreaking years for David Lee Roth, as his platinum plus rocking effort A Little Ain't Enough raced up the charts. Armed with 12 new songs, a great production from Bob Rock, and a band that only Roth could pull together, A Little Ain't Enough has gone on to become one of his most highly regarded albums in his legendary career.

However, like a couple of his other significant fan favorites from his coveted discography, they have been out of print for many years, until now.

The veteran rock label Friday Music does this magnificent album justice once again, and this time it is remastered by Joe Reagoso, plus it includes the original artwork elements, song lyrics, etc. A truly pristine recording which has stood the test of time, is now within your reach once again.

The album goes into overdrive with a play on the title "A Lil' Ain't Enough" and continues breaking new territory with smashes like "Shoot It" and radio favorite "Hammerhead Shark". With help from his killer band Steve Hunter (guitar), Jason Becker (lead guitar), Brett Tuggle (keyboards and vocal) ,Gregg Bissonette returns on drums from the Eat `Em and Smile band, and Matt Bissonette on follows up on bass and vocals, it's no wonder this album raced to the top rungs of the album and rock charts in 1991.

Twelve solid performances are what you get on this amazing collection. No home should be without out this album, and if you are truly looking for a good time, no frills rock and roll DLR-style masterpiece, then A Little Ain't Enough is the answer.

Customer Reviews

an under-rated album
In 1991 David Lee Roth released his third solo album A little Ain't Enough. This was Dave's first album without Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan for a backup band. The album was a commercial disappointment and only went gold. The album also got overall bad reviews. All of this is unfortunate, because, this is a really good CD! Today a lot of fans regard this as Dave's best solo album. The backup band on this album was awesome. It featured Jason Becker on guitar. He is a killer guitarist who may have been the next Eddie Van Halen, had he not tragically developed ALS. Steve Hunter was the second guitarist. The rhythm section on this CD was stellar, with Gregg Bissonette on drums, and Matt Bissonette on bass. The album was produced by Bob Rock, so it has a big arena-rock sound. This CD is best played LOUD! Overall, a majority of the tracks are straight ahead rockers--such as "A lil Ain't Enough" "Shoot It" "Drop in the Bucket" "Lady Luck" and "40 Below." There is a touch of blues to the album with "Tell the Truth" and Sensible Shoes." The only filler on this album is "Hammerhead Shark" which is a dud. The album would have been meaner and leaner without it. The overall vibe of the album is very upbeat, with screeching guitar solo's that would impress Eddie.

"Was vaccinated with a phonograph needle one summer break...
Some of the best lyrics I've ever heard on one of the best CDs I've ever heard! This albums is full of energy and upbeat music. The songs are so powerful and catchy and just want to make you get up and dance.

I highly recommend it, it will cheer you up whenever you feel down.

The last great album of it's era
THIS album is the best album DLR produced post Van Halen. And that is saying something. Jason Becker, a 19 year old, was the greatest talent find EVER. Unfortunately, Jason was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease) DURING the recording sessions and never toured with Dave, and never produced more brilliance with the master of wit and showmanship...

Because of that tragedy, and the emergence of the 1990's "whiner sound" that took over (and sadly still has hold today), Dave's career also went down.

BUT, if you want to hear the 80's BIG ROCK sound, with guitar solos, FUN lyrics, party attitude, GET THIS no matter what you have to do.

Bob Rock, incidentally, produced Metallica's Black Album. ALAE is better. GET IT.
