| Produced by KEITH OLSEN (SAMMY HAGAR, THE BABYS etc) the band also enlisted the help of top session guitarist TIM PIERCE (RICK SPRINGFIELD) and members of Canadian act SAGA (Michael Sadler sings backing vocals on all tracks while Jim Crichton programmed the keys). JAMES KOTTAK (SCORPIONS) plays Drums.

| Finally this CD makes it into the HeavyHarmonies data base! A real powerhouse! Fans of Baton Rouge or Def Leppard will have their hair blown back by the wall of sound courtesy of Keith Olsen. I love this CD!! "Heart and Soul" is a masterpiece. Too bad they only made one. A true gem.

| Saw them live in Birmingham England way back in 1990 supporting Little Angels and believe me if LAngels had produced a show stopping performance these guys would have blown them away. At the time the band were unknown and it was a shame they did not hit the big time .. or at least a second album. Great album.

| AOR con algunos temas bastante potentes y melódicos al estilo de grupos como Roxus o Red Dawn,buena producción a cargo de Keith Olsen y que además cuenta con la colaboración de gente de Def Leppard,asi que amigos del AOR cañerillo con ciertos acercamientos al Hard Rock en ocasiones, este disco está BASTANTE DECENTE.

| from england, i hear this album for the first time somewhere around 1991 or so and you think, hey, theze guys are so good,there have to be a follow up..but nowadays, anno 2003 , still no follow up, i think there won't be one ..but i agree with you all ...this is an album full with goood melodies .an example of a professional sounding rock disc, a bit like blue blud, but better..and blue blud is good too.. batcave777@hotmail.com

| This album just kicks ass. Blown away by it in the UK when it first came out, I can't believe it never got the airplay it deserved. Maybe someone's marketing team needed to be fired. From everything I heard, the band split up before making a second album, and it was a great loss to us all. Far, far too professional a band to deserve being one hit wonders.

| I've just managed to get hold of this on CD having only had the album previously. Not heard it for years but it still sounds brilliant. Incredible songwriting and vocals/harmonies. Just can't believe they only did the one album. Such a pity cos they coulda/should been HUGE!

| I just love this one too!! I see all the comparisons made here....but I'm also hearing a little bit of Johnny Gioeli and even some Danny Vaughn....with a bit of Rocco Fury.... I think "Shake" And "Stay" are my favorites here....but I really like them all...

| Reminiscent of Def Leppard and a singer that could be Sammy Hagars brother, you will be surprised at how original this sounds. Took quite a while to come up with those 2 points of comparison. A solid melodic hard rock Cd that should have done much better and had a major label release. This cd sets a standard for little known indie band offerings. There is no reason at all why this should not have been picked up and given big promotion. We can't even blame Nirvana, as this came out first!

| This is more Thunder/Little Angels than Def Leppard, and surely can't be described as AOR, but for me this is worth the entry price alone for "Heart and Soul" with it's totally overblown harmony vocals and killer mix of guitar/keys. The rest is very good, but doesn't come close to the opener...

| From: Rocker76 |

| Unlike everyone else, I thought this album's standout tracks were "On the Edge" and "Stranger". But there wasn't a bad song to be found and "Heart and Soul" did kick the album off nicely and set the pace for the remainder. "Shake" was typical AOR (nice) and I thought the acoustic & bluesy feel to "Waters Flow" was very well done. Not sure about the Def Leppard connection but the Baton Rouge point makes sense...fans of The Storm may also want to check this out. Rating 7/10

On The Edge is my favorite song here. I don't particularly care for the opener, or any of the other tracks actually. Too soft for me

| Went back and listened to this again, and still agree that the best tunes here are "On The Edge" and "Stranger." The ballads were average at best ("Stay") and the attempts to get bluesy were tastefully done. Not essential AOR in my book, but not a wasted purchase either. And I don't see this around used music stores a lot, so grab it if you see it.

| This disc has a stellar production,sounding that I really like a lot.I think.I think I am divided in 2 parts in the disc:a middle of songs are very good,the others sound like a quite fillers but not totally crap.BTW it’s a good slab of melodick hard rock with a solid production and great sounds.Don t like very much singer but he’s ok anyway…

| I have owned this on cassette since I picked it up cheap in about 1993,but rarely listened to it! Was always a fan of the song "Stay" though! Just recently I picked it up on CD (cheap again) and I cant believe I didnt listen to this one more. Ok,I know Heart & soul cause my friend plays it on her radio show,but the rest of the album is nearly as good as the two tracks I know & love! This will be played a lot more now I think!

| Buena banda de Hard Rock ciertamente con melodía, lo que mas destacaría es la producción(Cuando no Keith Olsen!?) y los tremendos coros. Gran comienzo con "Heart and Soul", la lenta y tranquila "Stay" que está solo ok IMO, "On the Edge" mi favorita sin dudas y creo que hubiera preferido temas así ó como "Stranger" muy buena. Joe Elliot está en los créditos tambien.. No está mal la voz como tambien el disco, Rock On! 8.3/10

| One of my last concert while living in England was of this act,i don't remember if it was supporting Gun or Thunder but well the only thing i can tell you is that this act rocked real good...it's a shame they only recorded one album and then vanished..."Heart & Soul" is a hymn to say the least and by far the best cut they did...tracks 2,4,7 & 9(quite AORish here and there) are other fine moments in here...80/100

| excellent debut for NO SWEAT a band that was set to make it big ,but somehow that couldnt happen with their tunes !dont get me wrong ,the band was excellent but it couldnt go to the masses with their sound being so perfect and their music a bit complicated!Keith Olsen does a fantastic job and e s a feelgood vibe all over ,but not as hard rocking as it should! if i had to make a comparison i d say that they were the UNRULY CHILD of this side!essential
