Album:
What you'll hear is exciting westcoast style AOR in the vein of I-TEN, BRIDGE 2 FAR, and WEST OF SUNSET. As an added bonus, there are guest vocal appearances by Lou Gramm (FOREIGNER), Mitch Malloy and Geddy Lee (RUSH). Keyboards are handled by David Rosenthal ( ex: RED DAWN, RAINBOW) as an added treat. A very impressive release that will delight all lovers of the genre.This lot sounded like a band named Bourgeois Tagg( a duo from the mid 80's).."Girl Like You" is a fave,like it,"Adult Situations" has a very cool drum beat,a cool track indeed,"Who's Missing Who" in here is where u can hear the similarities with the duo i mentioned,this one is a fave along with basically the rest of the songs "Thinking Of You","Caught In A Crossfire" and "Try On" this one is a highlight..."Chance" is a very good song...a decent album 4 sure.Amazing fact is that the drummer was a professional baseball player.
