With a cool name like Outlaw Blood you'd expect a heavy, thrash band or even Doom Metal. What you get, however, can be described in one word - Chetal. What is Chetal you ask? Simple - Cheesy sounding lightweight Heavy Metal (Chetal). Think Dokken meets Bon Jovi & Late era Whitesnake. Not to say that Chetal is bad - If you're into that kind of sound than this album is for you. Personally, I can only take it in small doses, and not that often.

Although you may or may not have heard of this band, you probably heard some of the work produced by guitarist Marti Frederiksen. Three of Frederiksen's LA-area bands landed record deals, and that led him to producing. Soon he was with Virgin Records co-writing and producing for the Southern rock-tinged Brother Cane, including two songs that reached No. 1 in the Billboard Mainstream Rock Charts. Frederiksen has co-written several of Aerosmith's songs since the mid-1990s, including four of the songs on 1997's Nine Lives (including the single "Nine Lives"), ten of the songs on 2001's Just Push Play (including the singles "Jaded", "Fly Away from Here", and "Sunshine"), both of the new songs on 2002's O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits (including the single "Girls of Summer"), and the lone original track on the 2004 cover album Honkin' on Bobo ("The Grind"). Frederiksen has worked with numerous acts, co-writing and/or performing on albums such as the Almost Famous soundtrack (as the singer of the fictional band Stillwater),[3] Def Leppard's X and co-wrote the song "I Should Have Told You" on Fuel's 2007 release Angels & Devils. He also co-wrote Buckcherry's hit single "Sorry" and co-wrote all 13 songs on Mötley Crüe's 2008 release Saints of Los Angeles. He has also written or co-written songs for Mick Jagger, Ozzy Osbourne, Brother Cane, Outlaw Blood, Motherland (which was The Jason Bonham Band with Marti replacing Daniel MacMaster), Jonny Lang, Hannah Montana (as Miley Cyrus), Scorpions, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, the late Jeff Healey, Meat Loaf, Bo Bice, Richie Sambora, James Durbin, Jesse McCartney, Ace Frehley, Sheryl Crow, Cinder Road, Suzie McNeil, Default and Black Lab.[4][5][6] He co-wrote Gavin Rossdale's hit single, "Love Remains the Same" *(for which he won a 2010 BMI Pop Award in the US and London.) He produced and co-wrote all songs on Foreigner's 2009 release, Can't Slow Down. Marti wrote and produced Vince Neil's single and title track of his album, Tattoos and Tequila. Frederiksen also co-wrote the song "Walk Away" from Black Veil Brides' fourth album.
