FROM THE FIRE – Thirty Days And Dirty Nights [YesterRock digitally remastered]

It is necessary to revisit this excellent YesterRock remastered reissue of FROM THE FIRE‘s debut album “Thirty Days And Dirty Nights“, a real gem that – to this very day – is still considered a classic in the AOR / Melodic Rock genre.

From The Fire was founded in New York by vocalist J.D. Kelly and drummer Mike Sciotto, soon joined by guitarist Tommy Lafferty after his stint with Voodoo X, the band of Jean Beauvoir.
So, it didn’t come as a surprise when From The Fire contacted Beauvoir to produce their debut album.
“Thirty Days And Dirty Nights” was recorded in LA, and while it was released by Music For Nations in Europe, strangely did not get a US distribution at the time becoming a much sought after piece in America.

With song contibution from the likes of Eric Carmen, Charlie Castro and Jean Beauvoir itself, plus the band’s original material, “Thirty Days And Dirty Nights” is pure melodic bliss.
Beauvoir’s touch is all over creating a heavenly ’80s classy AOR sound with a glossy wrapper plenty of big hooks, huge harmony choruses, dripping wet keyboards and vocals with more layers than a wedding cake.
Imagine a perfect mix of White Sister, Strangeways and Drive She Said, plus a fat, top notch production.

We have true pearls like ‘Hold On’, ‘Go All The Way’ and the superb midtempo AOR of ‘Where Are You Now?’ alongside more muscular numbers such as ‘Over Your Head’ and ‘Lovestruck’.
It’s really nice to hear Harlow’s Theresa Straley lending her awesome voice to ‘Spark To The Flame’ aswell (one of the album highlights), while the stunning power ballad ‘Take My Heart’ is another winner.

Very hard to find for years, “Thirty Days And Dirty Nights” become a cult classic AOR album, fortunately resurrected by YesterRock with a superb, pristine remastering.
Classy, catchy, glossy American AOR record, essential if you are fan of the genre.
