Style : Hard Rock
Country : United States
Audio : 320 kbps + scans + Video
Size : 106 mb
Bio:
Moving from Hamburg, Germany, to Los Angeles, USA, in 1983, vocalist Lenny Wolf teamed up with Bruce Gowdy (guitar) to form Stone Fury. Adding Rick Wilson (bass) and Jody Cortez (drums), they signed to MCA Records and debuted the following year with Burns Like A Star. The album offered traditional blues-based hard rock, similar in construction to Led Zeppelin. Wolf’s vocals were modelled very closely on Robert Plant’s, both in pitch and phrasing, which provoked accusations of imitation. Let Them Talk was more restrained and employed a greater use of melody and atmospherics. Unable to make a breakthrough in the USA, Wolf went back to Germany and later formed Kingdom Come on his return to the USA in 1987. Gowdy, in the meantime, formed World Trade.
Album:
Finally one of the most overlooked hard rock albums from the '80s, STONE FURY's debut "Burns Like A Star", it's being available outside Japan in remastered form courtesy of Rock Candy Records.Stone Fury was formed in Los Angeles in 1983 by vocalist Lenny Wolf, later known for being the founder of platinum sellers Kingdom Come. The band was essentially a collaboration between Wolf - born in Germany who moved to L.A. to become a rockstar - and super talented guitarist Bruce Gowdy (Unruly Child, Fergie Frederiksen, etc).After a recording demo, MCA Records offered a recording contract, but as band. So Stone Fury become a full-on combo completed with drummer Jody Cortez (Cinderella) and bassist Rick Wilson (Danny Wilde Band).Produced by renowned Andy Johns - who worked on classic albums by Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen and many others - Stone Fury's debut "Burns Like A Star" appeared in 1984.Yes, Lenny Wolf started to show his Robert Plant influences here, but it's Bruce Gowdy who brings the melodic hard rock sheen that makes this album truly great.'Break Down The Wall' is one of my all-time favorite '80s Hard Rock songs, while 'Life Is Too Lonely' is a midtempo AOR gem. I even remember a quote from long time ago with Don Dokken stating how much he liked this song.'I Hate To Sleep Alone' rocks hard, 'Don't Tell Me Why' and 'Hold It' are both another solid melodic hard rockers, while 'Mamas Love' and 'Tease' are good examples of what would become Kingdom Come; US hard rock with bluesy foundation."Burns Like A Star" rocks like few, it's highly melodic, delivers superb musicianship and a brilliant production, in short; one of the best recorded albums in this genre in America during the first half of the '80s.This Rock Candy remaster is taken from the original tapes, it's fully dynamic and punchy.Killer, underrated album.
