Free Music Notes for Rescue You
Free Music Review: JLT gets the top rating
Hit: 5 Stars
I have followed Joe Lynn Turner along with his many projects and every one of them is a masterpiece. From his early days in Fandango, Rainbow and Deep Purple Joe has built up a great reputation as one of rock's best singers.Free Music Review: 80'smetal fan
Hit: 4 Stars
I was a college soph in the fall of '85, tough time for metal/rock fans, VH had just called it quits and we had wade through hours of Springsteen, Dire Straits and Talking Heads on the Radio or MTV to hear one Motley of Ratt song, salvation was still about 18 months away in the form of "Appetite for Destruction". Anyway "Rescue Me" was a good, solid, overlooked rock album. It is difficult to believe once upon a time MTV Actually aired JLT Videos But it is true. While we are on the topic of under the radar 80's music, do yourself a favor and hunt for a band called ICON S/T and NIGHT OF THE CRIME. Excellent melodic hard rock, Really good at what they were trying to do. Kind of a blend of Ratt and Skid Row NOTC is one of my favorite records of all-time. My objectivity could be clouded by nostalgia, But listen for yourselfFree Music Review: Joe Lynn Turner's first solo release! Not Bad.
Hit: 3 Stars
I'm sure most of you know or heard some Rainbow songs.With this album you pretty much get the same deal except that the songs are a bit more mellow than that of the Rainbow lineup with Turner from 1981-1984.If you like good melodic hard rock than this is what you need.Most people who like the 80's will love this.
1.Losing You(8/10)Good opener.Sounds like a cut from Rainbow's Bent out of Shape album!
2.Young Hearts(7/10)Good track with the usual chorus line that screams the 80's sound!
3.Endlessly(10/10)One of the best ballads ever! This song is really great.This is how a love song is done the right way.The guitar sounds really good on this track.
4.Rescue You(5/10)I didn't like this one too much. A bit too much pop and not enough guitar.
5.Feel the Fire(6/10)Not bad.A bit too weak sounding I thought.
6.Get Tough(6/10)the guitars sound better on this track.
7.Eyes of Love(8/10)This song sounds great.Another 80's classic.
8.On the Run(10/10)Sounds like a cut from a Rainbow album once again.I enjoyed this one.Fans of Rainbow will love this one!
9.Soul Searcher(8/10)Good tune this one is.
10.The Race is On(8/10)A good rocker this one is.
Overall I say if your just starting out to buy some good 80's albums, then this is a good start. I also Recommend buying Rainbow Bent out of Shape 1983, Straight between the Eyes 1982, and Difficult to Cure 1981.Thee are all so much better than Turner's solo work.
Long Live the 80's!
Free Music Review: Not Bad for a First
Hit: 3 Stars
First let me say I am not a die hard JLT fan. Only recently have I started looking at his catalogue and buying his solo albums. I was impressed enough with his solo projects of the last ten years and I know him from Fandango, Rainbow, Deep Purple and Mother's Army, so I decided to check out this album too.
The strong points are the energy in the music and the vocals. As on no other album I have heard, Joe Lynn Turner can really hit the high notes. He does some classic 80s screams along with his usual style of power vocals. Each song is charged with energy, making every effort to show the music world that JLT could put out an album that should have made more people notice.
For my taste, however, the album uses too much synthesizer, which is the dominant instrument on the album. It sounds really like 80s power pop rather than a hard rock album like we are used to hearing on almost every other album JLT has done. Also, I find there is little variety on the album. For the most part any song will suffice as an example of JLT's work here. Listening to the whole album I think it makes great background or driving music, but it's not an album that makes me look forward to the next track and the next.
You have to realize that this album does sound very different from his other works. But if you are a true fan of Joe Lynn Turner or this style of music then you will appreciate the album.
Free Music Review: Turner: One of the Eighties Great Rock Voices
Hit: 3 Stars
In 1985 former Rainbow singer Joe Lynn Turner released Rescue You, his first solo record. Interestingly, the LP's credits contain the following note: "This album is dedicated to the memory of Richard Mason Blakemore," an obvious jab at guitarist Richie Blackmore, who disbanded the successful Rainbow in order to reform Deep Purple. Turner joined Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force in 1988 and sang on the hit "Heaven Tonight." Turner again worked with Blackmore in Deep Purple when vocalist Ian Gillan left the group in 1990; but after one album together, Masters & Slaves, both left the band.
