This album kind of starts off with a bit of classic rock vibe, but with some heavier hard rock bordering on heavy metal mixed in. Kind of like a heavier “Footloose” meets Eric Clapton meets Rez Band at different times. The Rez Band is really because of the male and female vocals. If you are wondering if they do a cover of the song the album is named after, the answer is “yes.” It feels a bit like early Petra with a gritty classic rock vocals and some piano thrown in with the metal-ish guitar riffs. Well, it’s better than I am making it sound. According to the bio I found, this band was only together for two years, and this is their only recording.
