10X10 is a posthumous solo album by Ronnie Montrose. Ronnie had been touring with bassist Ricky Phillips and drummer Eric Singer in the early 2000s. Ronnie Montrose crafting this release and had been for several years. With bassist Ricky Phillips and drummer Eric Singer in tow Ronnie envisioned a ten track album featuring a different singer on each track. Over three days in 2003 at Doug Messenger's studio in North Hollywood, the sessions produced ten strong tracks of rhythm guitar, bass and drums with the intention to get a singer to for the vocals. Eventually Ronnie decided on the 10X10 concept, ten tracks and ten different singers. Early on, he was able to secure contributions from close friends and collaborators like Sammy Hagar, Edgar Winter and Davey Pattison. In the intervening years Ronnie battled prostate cancer and, at one point, hadn't touched a guitar for two years. The record remaining unfinished for years up until Ronnie Montrose's passing in 2012. Around the time of his untimely passing Montrose only completed the rhythm tracks. Then time stood still. Along with completion of the vocals, the songs also needed lead guitar as well. Years later Phillips and Singer, with the guidance of Montrose’s widow Leighsa, have brought his vision to light… but with a twist. Since the leads were left incomplete the trio enlisted several guitarists along with guest vocalists to make this album come to fruition. Rickey Phillips, with the blessing of Leighsa and assistance of Eric Singer, picked up the reigns and completed the album. 10X10 was released on 29th September 2017.

Ricky Phillips really wanted to see this thing through. It was more for Ronnie than just for himself. The songs were cut to two-inch tape and then transferred to digital. Ricky Phillips completed the project after Ronnie Montrose died and it’s as good as it looks. Quite an amazing line-up. From chunky riffs to shred, bonus solos, and songs full with strong rhythms, backing vocals and occasional keyboards, it’s a hard rock album well worth searching out regardless of who’s on it. A fitting tribute indeed. 10X10 is a good bookend to the career of a musician who took the two-lane blacktop to artistic freedom in lieu of the expressway to mass stardom. A man who’s guitar works graced recordings of everyone from Boz Scaggs to Van Morrison as well as his solo recordings and his work in Montrose. A talent that influenced many other guitarists during his lifetime and left this world way too soon. Amazing that this CD has seen the light of day as it can be seen as a last outing of respect and admiration for the musician and the human being Ronnie Montrose.
