Marching to Mars, released on May 20, 1997 by MCA, is Sammy Hagar's tenth studio album and his first solo outing after his years fronting Van Halen. The Red Rocker made it with a rotating cast, different players turning up from song to song, and it plays like a man stretching his legs after a decade in someone else's band.
This is hard rock with the sun on it: big riffs, bigger vocals, and Hagar hollering with the relish of a guy who gets to call every shot again. The title track kicks the door in, and "Little White Lie" gave him a monster rock radio hit, sitting at the top of the mainstream rock chart for five weeks. Proof that the voice that sold "I Can't Drive 55" hadn't gone anywhere.
