Is this Poison? Is it…early stage Crue? This is the guy from Uriah Heep but it’s…better than Heep. Certainly better produced. It’s 80s hair metal right on the cusp of breaking out. Why Ratt and not Byron? I dunno. On the Rocks has better riffs and certainly cleaner production.
The playing is spectacular at times. But the weird thing is that, while I was loving every track, I promptly forgot them as soon as they were done.
By the end it turns into saxophone driven schmaltz and I can understand why no one’s heard of The Byron Band.
