In 1996, Teddy Andreadis (Teddy Andreas) released a solo album, Innocent Loser. Among those featured on the album are Guns N’ Roses band members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum, drummers Greg Bissonette and Pat Torpey, guitarist Steve Lukather, and Carole King. The album includes the ballad “Ragman”, and “Shotgun Shack”, which focuses on social issues. The album also features guitarist, producer and writer, Lanny Cordola, arranging and playing an array of exotic instruments,
Teddy Andreadis says of his album, “We were going for a Little Feat vibe, New Orleans kind of stuff. You know, Dr. John, some Stones…Americana rock. But we’re trying to keep it heavy, so that when you play it, it’s something that hits you from the beginning and makes you want to stick around ‘til the end.
