SONS OF ANGELS – Sons Of Angels [Wounded Bird Records remastered]

For 25 years, Guilderland, NY-based Wounded Bird Records has been quietly reissuing / remastering a plethora of CD titles that are generally geared for collectors but most definitely appeal to music lovers searching for out of print titles. They have done a great job with SONS OF ANGELS awesome – and very underrated – self titled album “Sons Of Angels” from 1990.
Perhaps due coming from Norway, Atlantic Records didn’t properly promoted this great album with a potential to make it really big: elaborated yet catchy classic hard rock songs and that 1990’s clean production handled by master Kevin Elson.

Things started very well for this Scandinavian band transplanted to California. Their catchy single ‘Cowgirl’ worked very well on the radio, they did a video aired at MTV and this lead to sell 150,000 copies of “Sons Of Angels”.
However, the label didn’t ordered the CD re-print and the disc availability disappeared about as fast as it arrived.

Unlike many of the hair metal records from the late Eighties / early Nineties melodic hard rock, this one actually has a little more substance: varied songs / arrangements, great vocals, and a heavy hard-funky upbeat vibe driving the tunes.
Among my favorites there’s the aforementioned ‘Cowgirl’, ‘Lonely Rose’, ‘Could It Be Love’, and the very good closer ‘Fly’.
Highly Recommended
