FLESH & BLOOD (Danny Vaughn / Mark Mangold) – Blues For Daze +2 [Bad Reputation remaster] (2021)
For the first time officially reissued / remastered by Bad Reputation Records, here’s the just released FLESH & BLOOD album “Blues For Daze“. FLESH & BLOOD was a short-lived but amazing super-group put together by Mark Mangold after his 3 AOR albums with Drive She Said, looking for a more rocking, bluesy-based sound.
Alongside Mangold on keyboards, there’s the awesome Danny Vaughn (Tyketto) on vocals, Al Pitrelli (Savatage, Joe Lynn Turner, Alice Cooper) on guitar, Chuck Bonfante (Saraya, Drive She Said) on drums and Mitch DeStefano on bass. Wow, that’s what I call a true super-group of talented cats.
But we have more: for this reissue, Vaughn & Mangold have gotten together and recorded 2 new songs for it. First is a down and dirty acoustic version of the song “Riverside” and the second is a storming, brand new track called “Ready To Roll”.
Regarded by Danny Vaughn as one of the favorite albums he has ever done, “Blues For Daze +2” is an awesome rockin’ CD, delivering a Vaughn astonishing performance and Mangold’s skilled songwriting. A great bad Reputation remaster, including 2 new tracks as bonus, and complete booklet with lyrics…
