DAVID LEE ROTH Crazy From The Heat (Warner Bros. EP)

Edouard Dauphin

One night about a year ago, The Dauph spent five-and-a-half hours closeted in a hotel room in Dayton, Ohio, with David Lee Roth, who remarked at the time—we were discussing musical inspiration— that “I can’t do it without a frame of reference. I have to steal it from someone.” On this four-cut EP, David’s first effort sans the Van Halen gang, we get to see what he means—and the results are only surprising if you haven’t been paying attention.

“I’m interested in culture in general,” he went on that night, holed up on the fifth floor of the Dayton Plaza, a Stouffer Hotel. “I like shoes and haircuts.” Artistically speaking, you’ll find both of those items in this “specially-priced” disc, though the wisdom—or even the point—of stealing from American icons like the Beach Boys or Vegas-style jazz zanies like Louis Prima may continue to elude you.
