LANCE POWERS – Lance Powers [Japanese compilation remastered + unreleased] (2000) *HQ*

320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ 1 /// HQ 2

We featured the two solo albums by American singer / songwriter LANCE POWERS, released by himself at the end of the Nineties. Japanese major label Avalon / Marquee was interested to release Lance’s music in Asia, and arranged this CD simply titled “Lance Powers“.
The cool thing is that we find songs from the previous two albums but freshly remastered, a welcomed treatment especially the tracks taken from the first CD ‘Straight From The Heart’.
Additionally, Lance provided 3 previously unreleased tracks, one of them perhaps the best Lance Powers song ever!

If you’re new to LANCE POWERS, his music is ’80s-style Melodic Rock / AOR, catchy tunes with the right dose of keyboards, driving by melodic guitars and Lance’s voice that somehow brings to mind early SHY records. We hear some great players here such as master guitarists Dann Huff & Michael Landau, bass player John Pierce (Richard Marx, Kansas), drummer Greg Morrow (38 Special, John Waite), and many more.
So you can’t go wrong if you love second half of the ’80s U.S. AOR with that pumping bass lines, sharp melodic guitars, heroic keyboards, and catchy choruses.
Highly Recommended
