STEVE AUGERI – For The Rest Of My Life (2013)

*

Tall Stories and former Journey singer STEVE AUGERI was tempted by well known Melodic Rock acts since he was fired by Neal Schon & Co., but the man decided to go solo with his Steve Augeri Band. Judging his tour schedule at his website with dozen shows-a-month all over Europe and North America, Steve was right, he writes and plays the music he wants without impositions.
You hear some people (Tommy Lee for instance) saying that they think the age of the ‘album’ is dead and gone and that releasing odd songs every so often is the way to go.
This is the route Steve Augeri has chosen, and has just released two brand new singles on iTunes; “For The Rest Of My Life” and “Behind The Sun” (featuring Message’s guitarist Tom DeRossi).

Both songs complement the recently available “Rich Mans World” and “Hours In The Day”, together with “Photograph” and “Riverside” already presented on this blog not so long ago.
All are featured here to taste them including the not for sale “Home This Christmas Time” recorded by Augeri Band but originally written for Glen Burtnick’s X-Mas Extranvaganza, the 9-11 tribute song “Common Ground” and the demo “Home Again”.

As said, Steve Augeri continues with his own penchant for elaborated Melodic Rock / AOR melodies (check the video-track below) and his band is sounding tight as ever.

Highly Recommended stuff.
