ENGLISH STEEL – Vol. II : Lucky Streak [North American Edition version]

In the early ’90s guitarist, vocalist, songwriter & producer Lea Hart put together ENGLISH STEEL, not quite a Various Artists album but definitely a various artists project / band, pulling together many talented high-profile British rock / metal artists to record what is pretty much classy Melodic Hard Rock songs co-written with the featured musicians.
Among the artists involved were Doogie White, Paul Di’Anno, Gary Barden, Jackie Bodimead, Dennis Stratton (also playing guitar), Kim McAuliffe, Biff Byford, … and that’s just the singers. Add to ’em musicians Neil Murray, Nigel Glocker (Saxon), Fast Eddie Clarke, Don Airey, Tino Troy, Paul Samson, Cliff Evans, and many more.
Released 1994, the second ENGLISH STEEL installment was titled ”Vol. II : Lucky Streak”. As happened with the first album, the cover art and the track list also changed depending the country with exclusive songs on each.

This North American edition of “Vol. II : Lucky Streak” (manufactured in Canada) cover art is dull, but we assure you the music don’t – there’s 10 strongly written melodic hard rock songs, performed by talented musicians and well produced.
