Tony Carey
Blue Highway
Genre: Rock
3.25 out of 5
This is the kind of glam pop rock that is the other side of the Planet P guy. Big. Echoey. Symphonic keys. Eminently listenable and yet redundant. Familiar to the point of almost being boring but also scores in its generic rock idiom. Bon Jovi had more charisma than Tony, sadly. So did, John Parr. And Billy Squier. And Rock Springfield. And…and…and…
They are obviously aiming for the Bryan Adams/Bruce Springsteen target and they get there, production-wise, but the songs don’t have the necessary hooks.
With the right video Carey could’ve been an MTV Star. Instead, he’s a footnote, I guess. He’s not as dull as Gary Myrick, however.
