TIN MAN is the brain child of Dallas, Texas musician/singer/songwriter Cary Floyd (guitar, vocals).
Their sound is the pinnacle of high-tech melodic rock in the vein of Mr. Mister, Toto, 3rd Matinee and even The Police. Joining Cary on all tracks are Keith Carlock (Drums), Pete Drungle (keyboards) and LaDelle Farrell (Bass).

Guest musicians across the recordings include Doyle Bramhall – Guitar (Eric Clapton, Sheryl Crow, Roger Waters, Arc Angels); Andy Timmons – Guitar (Danger Danger, Winger, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Olivia Newton John) and Tim Minor – Producer/Background vocals, Piano (Steve Perry, Paula Abdul, Al Green, Brian McKnight).

Terry Carolan ‘Inbalance’ is the last piece of the puzzle and is the 3rd of the 4 titles coming that will be part of the 500 Series of titles – meaning one pressing, 500 units, then done. When it’s sold out its gone forever once again.

American singer/songwriter Terry Corolan made his start as a drummer in Florida in the 70s, before taking up guitar and songwriting and moving around the country in various bands before moving to Los Angeles with Just Boys in the late 70s before transforming to a new solo artist.

He started his solo career by recording two separate EPs, one titled ‘Inbalance’ (1988) and the other ‘River Of Promises’ (1989).

His career has been busy and full, but for his collaboration with MelodicRoc

George Hills may not be a household name, but the Canadian melodic rocker delivered a great debut album back in 1991. Unlucky not to make bigger moves in the scene, the album was never released outside his native country and remains an obscure gem to this day.

MelodicRock Classics will make George Hills album ‘Dancing With A Stranger’ available as part of its new 500 Series of titles – meaning one pressing, 500 units, then done. When it’s sold out its gone forever once again.

Pre-orders will be available later this week, with priority given to those pre-orders before any wholesale orders are processed.

Check out the video released back in 1991 for the lead song and title track Dancing With A Stranger.

Also coming out May 26 is the second Tommy Marolda project, this one being a real hidden gem for fans of early 80s AOR and pomp rock fans – the one and only album by USA band Level.

Level’s 1982 self-titled release is another of those lost classics, a real AOR obscurity that was only ever issued on LP and even that now fetches huge prices.

Tommy produced and engineered the album as well as co-writing one track. Here he has again provided the masters for JK Northrup to upgrade, adding the extra track not credited on the LP artwork and an exclusive previously unreleased bonus track.
