FANDANGO (Joe Lynn Turner) – Cadillac [Rock Candy remastered] the REAL one

Featuring the golden throat Joe Lynn Turner, “Cadillac“ is the last album by FANDANGO, requested here in its Rock Candy remastered form.
The great thing about the Seventies was that record companies actually allowed artists time to develop and refine their craft. Fandango, signed to the powerful RCA label, recorded a total of three albums of varying quality and content prior to the release of ‘Cadillac’, a record which most fans agree finally saw them take flight as a mature and fully confident melodic hard rock band in the finest late ’70s / early ’80s tradition.

This was tough-guy melodic hard rock with great songs, memorable hooks and punchy guitar work. It was also the coming of age of vocalist Joe Lynn Turner, a man who would, after the demise of Fandango, go on to achieve huge success with a number of projects not least of all as the lead vocalist of both Rainbow and Deep Purple.
It was also a record that divided the band internally whilst its commercial failure led to an inevitable final split.

Looking back there is no question that “Cadillac” stands loud and proud alongside revered classic of the genre bolstered by a choice song writing quota, fiery guitar playing and just the right amount of controlled mayhem in the drum ‘n bass department.

In addition, Joe Lynn Turner leaves his mark as a vocalist of distinction, a voice that would propel him to deserved success in the following years.

An overlooked album when released, Fandango’s ‘Cadillac’ is plenty of strong songs, and af course, there’s Joe Lynn Turner great pipes all over. This Rock Candy remaster with a sound shaped from 24-bit digital via POW-r technology sounds excellent.
Also the new interview with Joe Lynn Turner is of a special interest, included into the usual Rock Candy full colour booklet plus enhanced artwork.
Highly Recommended
