War & Peace Flesh & Blood Sessions

2013, THE FLESH AND BLOOD SESSIONS contains the original 1988 studio sessions recorded at the legendary Sound City Studios by Angelo Arcuri (Black Sabbath, Dio, Hellion) and mixed by Neil Kernon (Dokken, Queensryche, Kansas), as well as five tracks chiefly put together by Jeff Pilson in the mid 1990s. This CD really delivers, as promised, a wonderful trip through time - back to 1989, when the hair was long, musicianship a must, and rock ruled the airwaves! Jeff Pilson's work with Dokken is well known, but it's nice to get to hear him cut loose on vocals, even if it is on 10 year-old demos! The songs are real strong, in particular ,,Kill For the Love of God", ,,Snake Eyes", and ,,What I Hide Behind". And Randy Hansen's guitar work is unbelievable! This disc really is worth checking out, it's like a missing piece of the whole 80's rock genre that could have tied things together nicely with the whole grunge movement. And Pilson's voice has a fascinating quality to it, very passionate but hauntingly accessible.
