Richie Kotzen Shared Classic Rare Video “The Cost”
Still busy promoting The Winery Dogs‘ debut album, guitar maestro, Richie Kotzen uses his spare time to share several interesting stuffs, including a classic music video for his special song titled “The Cost” which also includes vocal from his daughter, August Kotzen. According to Richie’s explanation, the track along with its MV was made back in 2006 and the archive was recently found on the guitarist’s computer.
Compelled not to keep hold of the unique track, he shared it via his official YouTube Channel and received positive response from music fans on the net. Continuing his story, Richie also stated that back in that time, he and August was planning to name their collaboration as “Remember The Was” which somehow correlate well with that 2006 track he shared.
“The Cost” itself has a sort of comedy theme on it as Richie and August basically goofing around about some sort of a new place to live with relatively cheap price of $89. That track also tells about how those two were promoting that cheap living area, but somehow suffered an issue at the end of video where there’s only one resident living there and that doesn’t actually cover their expenses.
Kotzen dressed up in a character similar as Willy Wonka and using his funny accent, which many music fans, who acknowledged his work, might already knew. August (who was still only 9-year-old) back then also made full appearance along with showcasing his talented voice, that can already be heard from that young age. Style was, “The Cost” is a funky-pop kind of music, with a bit of additional elements that still grasp that inner Kotzen kind of stuffs. Guitar heads can also enjoy his interesting solo piece on the 2006 song, which isn’t much, but still fun to hear.
