Are You Gonna Go My Way: Vinyl 2LP

The album that made Lenny Kravitz a superstar and left his mark on 90s rock is now available as a new remaster.

Lenny Kravitz's performance of 'Are You Gonna Go My Way' was nominated for a 1994 Grammy Award as 'Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo.' 'Are You Gonna Go My Way' (Lenny Kravitz/Craig Ross) was nominated for a 1994 Grammy Award as 'Best Rock Song.' Lenny Kravitz comes roaring out of the gate on his third full-length release, 'Are You Gonna Go My Way', with the lead-off title track - a blazing, riff-propelled rocker that proudly bears the influence of Jimi Hendrix. As evidenced by that song's homage, Kravitz's late-1960s and early-'70s fixations are still firmly in place here (especially on the Led Zeppelin-esque 'Is There Any Love in Your Heart' and 'My Love,' which recalls SGT. PEPPER'S-era Beatles). However, the singer/multi-instrumentalist also expands his palette on this album with the contemporary R&B of 'Heaven Help' and the reggae-drenched 'Eleutheria.'

Fortunately for fans of Kravitz's tried-and-true aesthetic, he never strays far from his stomping grounds. 'Believe' draws on dreamy '60s soul (complete with phased vocals and sing-along chorus), and 'Come On and Love Me' works a hard funk-rock groove. Kravitz's retro-minded songwriting and rough-hewn voice (which revs on upbeat tunes and croons soulfully on ballads) conjure the spirits of rock's greatest icons, updating pop's history books in one stylish, hard-to-resist package.
