JAG (feat Dann Huff) – The Longest Road [Digitally Remastered] (2020) *EXCLUSIVE*

Starting as solo artist in the mid-Eighties, songwriter / vocalist John Allen Garies a.k.a. JAG released his first indie cassette in 1987. Before that, he attended the band WHITEHEART show and somehow made his way onto their tour bus and gave founding member Billy Smiley a copy of the tape. He agreed to produce Garies’ music but asked for a real band. JAG born, and released their first album in 1990.
1990’s “The Longest Road” is JAG’s debut album as a band, recently digitally remastered and reissued after long time out of print.
This is a late Eighties / early Nineties kind of American AOR, smooth and crystal clear. The album starts off strong with a very GIANT-like guitar intro opening the first track and a serious WHITEHEART rhythm.
The influence of both of these bands abound through the album, and all members – including Dann Huff on guitar – perform in one way ore another on this melodic collection of songs…

Fire In The Temple” is JAG’s third album as a band, recently digitally remastered and reissued after long time out of print.
Again produced by Billy Smiley of WhiteHeart and appeared in 1992, “Fire In The Temple” has more ‘mature’ melodic rock style than its predecessors, and an overall sound similar to GIANT and JOURNEY’s ‘Trial By Fire’ album / era.

JAG – The Only World In Town [Digitally Remastered] (2020) *EXCLUSIVE*

Starting as solo artist in the mid-Eighties, songwriter / vocalist John Allen Garies a.k.a. JAG released his first indie cassette in 1987. Before that, he attended the band WhiteHeart show and somehow made his way onto their tour bus and gave founding member Billy Smiley a copy of the tape. He agreed to produce Garies’ music but asked for a real band. JAG born, and released their first album in 1990.
This “The Only World In Town” is JAG’s second effort, again produced by Smiley. Long time out of print recently has been reissued in remastered form.
The song ‘Two Worlds Collide’ was going to be cut and recorded by the band GIANT. Since GIANT already had 14-15 songs for their album, John talked Billy into making it a JAG song. Dann Huff played all the guitars.
So expect here a sound production with that US ‘1990-91’ pristine, crisp sound, and a style ranging from GIANT and WHITEHEART to Mr. MISTER and TOWER CITY.
