IAN THOMAS Band – Still Here [Wounded Bird Records / first time on CD] *0dayrox exclusive*

As requested, here’s the not easy to find Wounded Bird Records release of IAN THOMAS Band album “Still Here“, for the first time on CD and with a clean, pristine sound quality.
Regarded as one of the best singer / songwriter from Canada, for this album Thomas changed moniker to ‘Ian Thomas Band’, but still retaining his classic musicality and smooth FM radio sound with Americanized Westcoast sounds and AOR breeze.
“Still Here” produced two Canadian single hits with the melodic ‘Coming Home’ and one of our favorite Thomas song ever, the atmospheric ‘I Really Love You’, not exactly a love song but his veiled love/hate relationship with the music business.

While most of the album is very FM, melodic oriented, Hugh Symes’ keyboard work and Dave Cooper’s guita playing instills energy in tracks such as title track ‘Still Here’ and ‘Just Like You’, and there’s guest guitar solos by renowned Canadian session musicians Josh Onderisin and Rick Doyle.
“Still Here” is an album with a late Seventies feel but showcasing some of the early ’80s smooth AOR sound & style to come.
