Terry Brock, where have I met this name? Oh yes, the vocalist in Strangeways, who became the new singer in Giant last year. Between his work with Giant, and blowing new life into Strangeways, he's also had the time to record a second solo-album. Talk about a busy bee.

Terry got the aid of none other than guitarist Mike Slamer. It's quite obvious when you listen to the guitar work on this album. Mike also did the production for this album by the way.

If you're a fan of decent, well performed and well written AOR, then this album is a definite must buy.  There's not a bad song to be found on this album. As a matter of fact this album is so listener friendly that after having heard each song once or twice you're singing along, it's that good. Oh, and did I mention that Terry's vocals are sublime.
