Shake Your Soul

Sometimes I wonder what record companies were thinking when thy slapped covers on some of these albums. Doesn’t exactly jump off the rack at you, does it? Luckily I heard this one in my buddy Mark’s car, so I already knew it was worth buying. Kelly Keeling’s voice is like a rougher, bluesier Joe Lynn Turner and the music is just classic 80’s metal. This is a great album full of good guitar, catchy vocal melodies and big choruses. The songs were all produced and co written by Jack Ponti and although he didn’t play on this cd, I believe his involvement was a big part of the sound here. Unfortunately it didn’t receive much support and the band never made much of a splash. --Scott
