LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-MARCH 23, 2020.. TWENTY ONE YEARS AGO THE RED ROCKER RELEASED THE ALBUM ‘RED VOODOO’. THERE IS SUCH A GREAT PARTY FEEL TO THIS ALBUM. WHEN HAGAR FINISHED IN SUPPORT OF HIS ‘MARCHING TO MARS ALBUM’ HE WENT STRAIGHT INTO THE STUDIO TO RECORD THIS RECORD. I THINK PART OF THE REASON THIS ALBUM HAS SUCH A GOOD VIBE TO IT IS HE RECORDED IT WITH THE WABORITAS. ALONG WITH SAMMY, THE BAND INCLUDED THE GREAT DAVE LAUSER ON DRUMS, JESSE HARMS ON KEYBOARDS, VIC JOHNSON ON GUITAR, AND MONA GNADER ON BASS. THE BIG SONG ON THE ALBUM WAS ‘MAS TEQUILA’. IN THE SONG HAGAR SINGS ABOUT A TRIP TO MEXICO, WHERE HE HAS SOME GOOD TIMES ENJOYING SOME SHOTS OF HIS FAVORITE BEVERAGE , HIS “VITAMIN T.” HAGAR IS SERIOUS ABOUT HIS “VITAMIN T” OR TEQUILA. IN 1996 HE FOUNDED CABO WABO TEQUILA. WHEN HAGAR HAD IT IMPORTED INTO THE USA, IT BECAME A POPULAR PREMIUM BRAND. IN 2007, HAGAR SOLD 80% OF THE COMPANY TO CAMPARI FOR $80 MILLION DOLLARS. HE SOLD THEM THE REST OF HIS STAKE IN THE COMPANY FOR ANOTHER $11 MILLION.
