CD BRYAN HUGHES GROUP – BREAK THE RULES! Excellent CANADIAN AOR cd, released on the ISBA RECORDS label back in 1990! Very hard to find nowadays, this one comes highly recommended…
It is still a solid slice of AOR, albeit with a programmed feel this time around, which tends to make this sound slightly predictable. The guitar and keyboard interplay on this album are the highpoint, coming across like a mix between Greenway‘s ‘Serious Business’ and Aldo Nova‘s ‘Twitch’, with the obvious Beau Geste inflection factored in.
The Songs
Bryan gives us a taster of his AOR menu with the pleasant opener ‘She’s The Type’, an urgent-style rocker with just the right amount of AOR ingredients to get the taste-buds going. ‘Who’s Gonna Love You’ is equally effective, subtly so, while the third track ‘It’s Too Late’ is lovely streamlined AOR following in the footsteps of the great Russ Ballard.
