| I really enjoyed this one. It came out as a double album and I played it out. Funny, I would class this as more roots rock or southern in flavour. Fave tracks are 1-4, 8, 11 13 and 15. Some good music here but not everyone's cup of tea. I would rate it a 7/10

| i do believe this is a better cd than their debut and this album is a classic in my opinion..i recently found a site on them with some new mp3's...don't know where it was but i do know i used www.google.com anyway, killer band.. Doug Banx joined Mr nasty in 1990 who also released one hell of a sleaze rock n roll cd. tomcat@dolfijn.nl

| This LP was great. Any band who has the balls to cover Otis Redding (no matter how poorly the execution) is a band I'll take a bullet for. From the ZZ Top boogie of Deep Inside My Heart and the Stones groove of Hard To Hold to the tear in your beer honky tonk ballad Liza Jo and the desolate mariachi sound of South of the Border it shines from 1st note to last. Personal favorites are Our Little Secret, Boy From Hells Kitchen, Hush Child, and Damned Don't Cry. They were a vastly underrated band.

| I thought I would also add that Johnny Depp has a writing credit on the song "Mary" and a couple of the tunes on this album were also co-written with later-to-be country music semi-star David lee Murphy. It seems to me like Bobby Durango and the boys weren't just into one kind of music. There was a definite diversity (soul, country, blues, punk) inherently missing in a lot of bands of their genre.

| This is an excellent cd. It is a shame one cant' find rock n roll like this any more. Hopefully the band will put out some new material. If you have not heard this cd, pick it up, you will not be disappointed.

| Does anybody know if this band is still out playing clubs or recording anything. This is the best band that never made it big. Bobby Durango has the perfect voice for their blues rock style. If anyone knows if this band is still doing anything please post it on this board. Hopefully, they will release another cd like young mans blues. Lord knows the rock world needs it.

| Yeah, this album rocks. I found it recently on ebay for 8 dollars and it's just so good that it has become one of my favourite albums from the 80s along with "Appetite for destruction" and others. I recommend all the people that don't own this piece of art to buy this album at any price.

| Faster Pussycat could have been nice to these guys and given them their album title, 'Wake me when it's over' as it would have been perfect for this material. I don't want to get too offensive as it appears as though many like this band and I don't want to start anger. Me, personally, I'd rather nap than listen to this kind of blues flavoured rock... just not a single moment on the CD I enjoyed. If you like Quireboys I guess it's okay. Definately not for big hooks lovers though...

| Rock City Angels have a new release recorded. Bobby Durango wants to put some more final touches on it - so, it may be awhile - but it will be well worth waiting for. This one will be real Angels - not Geffen influenced Angels.

| Thank you for the link. The song was great. Any word on when the cd will be released. Also do you know if it is new material or material that was never before released. If you haven't checked out the new link go. It's vintage Rock City Angels.

| Glad you like the song. It was recorded back when RCA was still with Geffen. The big news is that they have been back in the studio and recorded a new 11 song cd "Use Once & Destroy." It needs a little more studio work & remixing - and a label :-) A new RCA website has just launched: http://www.rockcityangels.com Keep an eye on it as all news will be posted there. We've also put four mp3s up - take a look and enjoy

| *************************Rock City Angels tuvo un buen nombre, tuvo style, como grupo hizo muy buenas canciones, pero no tuvieron la repercusión que merecieron, algo no nuevo para los que seguimos el estilo hard rock de cerca. Tal vez alguno escuchó que Johnny Depp, el actor pirata más famoso de la actualidad, haya tenido un pasado musical, y justamente esta fue la agrupación por la que pasó y dejó como legado la co-escritura del tema “Mary”. De todas maneras,

| para aquellos que se han perdido de la etapa “original” de la era glam-hard rock, no siempre van a surgir nuevas buenas chances como esta. En esta oportunidad tenemos el agrado de acercarles la reedición de “Young man’s blues”, cual data de 1988, pero gracias a Gott Discs, esta de nuevo al alcance de todos y con una edición digitalmente remasterizada y con un arte de cobertura del cd que no contiene la versión original. RCA (Rock City Angels) tranquilamente pasan por un sleaze glam medio

| southern rock, bastante bluesy, con muchas guitarras, y con un vocalista que me recuerda mucho a Alice Cooper de los 70’s; mucho. Tiene sus pasajes románticos como “Liza Jo”, medio estilo cowboy tipo Cinderella, y con coros mas parecidos a LA Guns, mientras que “Hush child” y “Ya gotta swear” tienen una onda mas sleazy ala Poison, Guns & Roses.

| one of the best sleaze rock albums i've heard. the first track "Deep Inside My Heart" blown me away-the vocal of singer just couldn't be better. "Mary" is awsome ballad-at the begining it started to sound like it belongs to alice in chains hehe. other great tracks: Our Little Secret,Rumblefish,Damned Don't Cry and Hush Child.

| The ZZ Top comparisson is ok and add 2 that some Black Crowes and Cry Of Love type of thing...i remember this band caused quite a fuss in England when this album came out..maybe coz The Quireboys were hittin' hard the local scene and R.C.A were kinda of a healthy competition (the american answer,i mean)..i'm just speculating friends and not for that i'm gonna rip off this band as i'll be as objective as possible and not because The Quireboys dilema...tracks 1,4,6,8,9,11 & 13 are good songs that have a rough and edgy blues sound and of course you'll love but somehow can be at some points,monotonous (a matter of tastes,i guess)so is up to you to buy the album.82/100...Hanoi Rocks,Dogs D'amour,Black Crowes,Cry Of Love,The Quireboys could be,somehow,references...peace!

| Wow, I always intended to listen to this one day and wish I'd done earlier. This is some very catchy, rhythmic, blues-flavoured rock & roll in the vein of Faster Pussycat, Jetboy and Electric Angels. Hard to Hold is my current favourite.

| ok release for ROCK CITY ANGELS back in 88 and what you d expect from a band with a Geffen deal and such looks would be something big!unfortunately that s not the case here and what is offered is a good one ,but with not any big songs !the sound is somewhere between QUIREBOYS,DOGS D AMOUR,JUNKYARD,ROLLING STONES ,the musicianship is pretty good but it never goes on top and you just keep on listening trying to find a big hook...anyway i m sure that they d be great live ,as they do have a fine rockin vibe!

| I inherited this CD 20 years ago and played it today. It's pretty good and not what I was expecting. It just amazes me all these bands who were on huge labels like Geffen. So many of them 1989-1992
