SCORPIONS – Born To Touch Your Feelings – Best of Rock Ballads (2017) [retail]
“Born To Touch Your Feelings – Best Of Rock Ballads” is a just released quite essential anthology of new and classic recordings (remastered) from seminal German hard rock band SCORPIONS, also featuring new material as well.
Showcasing SCORPIONS’ career-spanning command of the rock power ballad idiom they helped pioneer and engineer to perfection, “Born To Touch Your Feelings – Best Of Rock Ballads” includes definitive interpretations of some of the group’s most beloved anthems as well as the premiere of two brand-new SCORPIONS songs — “Melrose Avenue” and “Always Be With You” — and a fresh 2017 version of “Follow Your Heart”, the album’s first single already featured here as advance.
“Always Be With You”, the brand new song by Rudolf Schenker, is a deeply emotional declaration of love and story of change written by the guitarist / composer shortly after the birth of his youngest son.
“Melrose Avenue”, named after one of the most famous strips in Los Angeles, is the most recent song of Matthias Jabs, its music perfectly capturing the enchanting sense of life in California. It’s a cool midtempo melodic rocker witha melodic solo.
Forty years ago, the SCORPIONS song “Born To Touch Your Feelings” was released for the first time and it stands to this day as an abiding musical credo of Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker. Here’s presented in acoustic format.
Then you have “Always Somewhere”, “Lady Starlight” and “When The Smoke Is Going Down” (some of my favorite SCORPIONS songs ever) all in remastered versions, and a brand new 2017 version of “Send Me An Angel”, among other great tunes.
Do you need “Born To Touch Your Feelings – Best Of Rock Ballads”? Every house should hold a copy, as at least one of these songs are part of the soundtrack of your life.
SCORPIONS are masters of the Power Ballad craft, you can’t deny this fact, and having all together plus new material always worth the purchase.
