Aug. 20, 2025: Temporary Message Board Closure The company hosting the message board sprung a surprise price hike on me that would have more than tripled the monthly hosting costs, so I've been scrambling to find an alternative. I've purchased a license for self-hosting a different platform and am hiring a consultant to migrate the existing board's content (posts, user profiles, etc.). However, this means I need to shut down the message board for anywhere from 3 days to (hopefully less than) a week so the data can be migrated. While this is an expensive proposition up front, it should result in some long-term savings. The current message board will be closed down at some point this Saturday, August 23. I will post updates here. The main site (where you are reading this), will NOT be affected. -Dan

I rank this one right up there at the top with other great West Coast rock releases! Think David Roberts, Frankie Bleu and a bit of Airplay! Classic!

too dated westcoast aor...

Sorry Steve don't agree with you at all. There's some cracking tunes on this album in particular "Am I ever gonna find your love", "The Hurricane" and "Midnight ride". Naturally all the supporting cast are superb with a special mention going to Steve Lukather. A West Coast classic for sure...

Great ! Absolutely great Westcoast album !! The wonderful voice, melodies and choruses remind me of Bee Gees (!) and Toto, which is no surprise really, as half of the Toto troup is part of the personnel line-up. Recommended !!

Quality westcoast/AOR release in the same vein as Toto, Ambrosia, and David Roberts. Someone ought to fix the track listing above though as this only has 8 tracks (Track 2 should be "Am I Ever Gonna Find Your Love" and track 3 should be removed).
