Don Barnes- Ride The Storm (CD)
Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of the previously unreleased 1989 solo album from the 38 Special vocalist. The album includes musical assistance from Dann Huff, Alan Pasqua, Jeff and Mike Porcaro, Jesse Harms and Denny Carmassi among others. Nearly 30 years ago, what would have been an instant classic was relegated to storage thanks to the old story of record label machinations. In searching for the original masters for Ride The Storm, after being lost for two decades, Don found the only existing copy of a 'rock mix' that was commissioned back in 1989 to take a look at how the songs would sound, remixed for a bigger 'rock' impact. Ever the completist, Melodic Rock Records' Andrew McNeice insisted that both mixes of the classic album were included in the release - as well as the three individual, heavily traded, solo demo tracks that were recorded but not included on the original album. The complete Ride The Storm release is a double disc set, featuring the album in it's intended form, plus the second 'alternate mix' disc, on which the three additional bonus tracks are added at the end.
Tracklist:
- Ride The Storm
- Looking For You
- I Fall Back
- Don't Look Down
- Maybe You'll Believe Me Now
- I'd Do It All Over Again
- Everytime We Say Goodbye
- Feelin' Stronger Everyday
- After The Way
- Johnny Ain't So Cool
