GLENN BURTNIK – Wanted Man (The Unreleased Recordings) *0dayrox Exclusive*
Glen Burtnik (born GLENN BURTNIK, 1955) embodies exactly what talent represents – the artist that works tirelessly to stay vital, involved, and creative. Glen was launched as a promising solo artist in the mid-80s releasing two great records on A&M. He achieved some chart success with 1987’s “Follow You” which reached #65 on the pop-rock charts.
As the solo career was sputtering, Burtnik was invited to replace Tommy Shaw in STYX and wrote their last decent-sized hit with 1991’s “Love is the Ritual”. This began a new career as a professional songwriter (penning hits for Patty Smyth and Don Henley, as well as Randy Travis and others) and as a gun for hire, bringing his professionalism and vast talents to anyone that needed them. These days he’s in, no kidding, at least half a dozen different groups / projects / ensembles all of which showcase his passion for great, classic rock&pop music.
Here we have our own 0dayrox compilation we titled “Wanted Man” – not only because he always has been a requested songwriter, also it’s the title of one of his songs here. Included are a lot of songs penned & recorded by Burtnik during the second half of the ’80s for his solo albums or to offer for other artists / publishing agencies, most of them unreleased. The style is pure ’80s radio-friendly Rock&pop / Melodic rock as heard on his official solo albums, and with a very good sound quality.
Additionally, there’s a bunch of songs taped in the ’90s, mostly Burtnik with his guitar, and some are truly awesome such as the inspired ‘Palm of My Hand’ and the beautiful ‘Watching the World Go By’.
28 songs in total, 28 unreleased collectibles.
