Carl Dixon - One 1993 (Melodic Rock/AOR) Canada
In 1992 CARL DIXON decided to get down to the business of his long-delayed first solo album "One" (featuring Billy Carmassi on drums and ROUGH AND READY bassist Tim Harrington along with guests Steve Shelski and Andy Curran of CONEY HATCH). In 1997 CARL DIXON toured with GUESS WHO. In June 2000 his new solo album "Into the Future" was begun. Carl: "I brought all my experiences in producing to the project; I engineered the recordings in my studio, I stretched myself as a guitar player, I brought in some of my favourite players to guest, and utilised my awesome live band who I've played with for years." "Into the Future" is a great melodic rock album which also features guest appearances by Steve Shelski (CONEY HATCH), Brian Greenway (APRIL WINE) and Pat Kilbride (SASS JORDAN, IAN Hunter). Co-writers include Andy Curran, Rick Neigher and Mike Lunn. The album comprises 13 songs, three cover songs among them; "Little Bit of Love" by FREE, "River" by Robin Trower and "Lonely You" by Bad Finger.Carl Dixon - One 1993 (Melodic Rock/AOR) Canada

Joey C. Jones and the Glory Hounds - St. 1993 (Melodic Metal) U.S.A.
If you weren't paying attention you'd think that Mark Slaughter was singing on some of these songs. Joey C. Jones sounds very much like Mark at times. The songs are well written, catchy, pop rock songs ala Cheap Trick. They're the type of songs that can get stuck in your head for days, especially the lead off track "Hello." Speaking of Cheap Trick, the first single was written by Robin Zander and Rick Nielson called "Wait All Night." C.C. DeVille ended up getting co-writing credit for the song "Broadway." Every song has a memorable chorus and solid musicanship. It's a solid CD that fans of Cheap Trick, Enuff Z'Nuff, Butch Walker, and I guess even Slaughter should enjoy.This band started out of the ashes of C.C. DeVille's Needle Park. Joey and Adam were in C.C.'s band and after that feel through, they put together Joey C. Jones And The Glory Hounds. The CD came out on TNT Records and in 1993 nobody wanted to hear this type of music so it went largely unnoticed. I don't even remember how I got this CD but I know I got it when it came out. Finding it now would be pretty hard.(metalsludge.tv)Joey C. Jones and the Glory Hounds - St. 1993 (Melodic Metal) U.S.A.

Pretty decent AOR, guitars are definitely in the mix, though it's certainly on the softer side of the spectrum. Remco Nagtzaam has unique vocals that are likely an acquired taste, rating as not the worst nor the best- but, who am I to criticize really, my voice is horrid. The first three tracks are the highlight of the album for me, melody is abundant throughout, and the songwriting overall is a positive IMO. Picked it up for a good price, and would recommend it as long as the price is low (maybe $10-$20). From what I can discern, Remco is currently a member of a Dutch songwriter collective/camp, and year of release = 1990......Jeff. (jstoyz)Lite - Light 199? (AOR) Netherlands

Keyboardist/songwriter Jonathan Cain found AOR success in a series of bands ranging from Journey to the Babys and Bad English. Born in Chicago on February 26, 1950, he first emerged fronting the Jonathan Cain Band, which issued one LP, Windy City Breakdown, on the Bearsville label in 1977. A year later Cain replaced keyboardist Mike Corby in the British band the Babys, which scored the hits "Isn't It Time" and "Every Time I Think of You." When the group disbanded in 1981, Cain joined Journey prior to their breakthrough hit Escape, and remained in the band until they broke up after 1986's Raised on Radio. Two years later, he and Journey guitarist Neal Schon teamed with ex-Babys frontman John Waite in Bad English, which scored a pair of major hits -- "When I See You Smile" and "Price of Love" -- before calling it quits in 1991. Cain resumed his solo career with 1995's Back to the Innocence and Piano With a View; after rejoining Journey for their 1996 reunion effort, Trial By Fire he returned with the solo Body Language in 1997. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music GuideJonathan Cain - Back To The Innocence 1990 (AOR) UK

Saint - St. 1984 (Pomp Rock) USA
Fantastic American band that delivered hard edged melodic pomp. Imagine Journey if they beefed up the guitars and added a few more layers of keyboards! The production is sadly lacking which gives it the rough sound, but the tunes are excellent and makes this an absolute must for all melodic rock fans. Where are they now? The search is on... so watch this space! Classic!Reissued in 2006 by Retrospect.

K.K. Wilde - Cocaine Cowboy 1991 (Melodic Hard Rock) USA
99 cents seems to be a magic starting price in this edition of Ebay Madness! KK Wilde is another one of those bands that has become highly collectible over the last 10 years. COCAINE COWBOY is actually the band’s 2nd record, there’s a bit of confusion out there because the debut, ROCK N ROLL, also came out in 1991. I haven’t seen this CD for a long time so I knew it would get a high price.K.K. Wilde - Cocaine Cowboy 1991 (Melodic Hard Rock) USA
