1 CD – UK Import on Rock Candy
When it comes to vocalists operating in the AOR sphere, there can be no denying that Eric Martin is at the top of the heap, right up there with the likes of Steve Perry and Lou Gramm.
The owner of a voice that could turn a lacklustre tune into a gold plated classic, nonetheless Martin would have to wait many years before his ship finally came sailing home as the frontman of platinum sellers Mr. Big. Eric had initially built a strong reputation as a talent to watch in his previous bands, leading to a deal with Capitol Records, producing this debut solo album.
Originally issued in 1985 (recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Danny Kortchmar and Greg Ladanyi), the album launched a number of exciting and catchy songs. It also featured a number of top West Coast based musicians, including Waddy Wachtel, bassist Randy Jackson (Journey), drummer Stan Lynch (Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers), and Steve Lukather (Toto).
