There is going to be a fair amount of educated guessing going on about this band because I can not find any information on this band. The band consisted of Shawn Shepherd Lead Vocals, Mike Albrecht Guitar, George Cline Bass, and Tom Albrecht Drums. This is the only album they ever released and I can’t see that it ever got some distribution so it’s little known. The album was recorded at Jess Redmon’s studio and produced by him. Jeff was the keyboard player for Alpha Centauri and contributed keyboards to this project. I’m sure there is more information on the CD booklet but unfortunately our scan of it is unreadable. The album is a great Hard Rock album and I loved it on my first listening. But the real star of this album is the cover. Now I know that’s really odd to say but here’s why. I have a stack of probably 1000 albums to go in this project so when I reach in it’s tough to find a great rock album. That said one look at this cover and I was pretty sure this was going to be a rock album and not worship music. So many rock albums end up with horrible covers that don’t attract my eye and they get missed. This album cover sold the band. So one of the stars of this album is actually Art Director RoseAnne Buerge. If this album had some proper distribution her artwork would have got it into many CD players in the day. Great work RoseAnne.
