<p>This is ok. Like Scott, it lost me a bit with "Let Me Down Easy", I got the Bryan Adams vibe totally and this was before reading what Scott wrote. Another song that bugged me a bit was "Move Better In The Night", it sounds like a song in a car commercial.</p>
<p>The rest was ok but the title track has always been great. I was considering getting this album about a year ago, think it's OOP though. Now listening it's not something I would listen to much. I have Roger Daltrey "Gold" so that…</p>

<p>The rest was ok but the title track has always been great. I was considering getting this album about a year ago, think it's OOP though. Now listening it's not something I would listen to much. I have Roger Daltrey "Gold" so that will do me good. </p>
<p>When I was a young 'un, I was one a serious Who kick and picked up Daltrey's "One Of The Boys" album. And that was that. Daltrey without Townsend just doesn't cut it really. However, "McVicar" is a great album. Good movie too.</p>

<p>Uriah Heep, Rainbow and Santana come to mind of groups covering Russ Ballard songs. I actually think the cover versions are better. That would be interesting to do a Russ Ballard/cover player. I think I have the original Russ Ballard songs as well as the covers. </p>

<p>But "Voices" is a great song, don't recall anyone covering that.</p>

<p>Yep! This is a classic! </p>

<p>Heres some info Jon probably would be interested in.. He also wrote the following...</p>
<ul>
<li>"I Know There's Something Going On", recorded by Frida.</li>
<li>"Can't Shake Loose", recorded by Agnetha Fältskog.</li>

<p>Listened to this today. I could have sworn that Bryan Adams did that song. I looked his discography up and down on wikipedia but couldn't find it. Then I re-read this post. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I also did not realize that Pete Townshend wrote After The Fire.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The song Breaking Down Paradise is killer. And it's written by none other than Russ Ballard. Therein lies a terrific radio show or playlist...Russ Ballard penned tunes that somebody else recorded...</p>

Man, I really requested an awesome album. Folks, if you haven't heard this album, you have to listen to Scott's post. It is fantastic from start to finish. After The Fire really is an incredible song. You can't tell me that the beginning of the title track doesn't immediately make you think of "Won't Get Fooled Again". But I would guess that makes sense because it is an ode to Keith Moon. I bought this on cassette way back around the time it was released, and that was lost some time ago. But it…

But I would guess that makes sense because it is an ode to Keith Moon. I bought this on cassette way back around the time it was released, and that was lost some time ago. But it has been on my mind for some time now, and with this post, I'll make sure to grab it from Amazon.<br />

Thanks Scott for getting this posted so quickly.
