Originally released in 1988, DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH and its self-titled album resulted a one-off project, but a what a great one. This album comprises all the best from second half of the ’80s Canadian AOR; that meaning class, gusto, smoothness and clinical production.
Now AOR Heaven Records is reissuing this little gem (only 500 copies).With TRIUMPH’s Rik Emmett dropping a guest solo on the awesome opener ‘Walk On The Wire’ you get an idea of what this is musically. But David Buckthorpe (DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH’s mastermind, singer & songwriter) also adds a radio-friendly, rock&pop energy to many tracks, resulting in a terrific collection of pure Eighties stuff akin GLASS TIGER, TOTO, etc.
Signed and released by major label Virgin Records, ”DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH”

This is the SECOND album Gary wrote and finished during 2020. All brand new songs, everything performed and produced by Schutt himself.
This album included two leftover songs from the Nightmare and Bad Dreams sessions which were written and recorded during the original full pandemic shutdown. I decided to save them for the next album. The song “Drastic Measures”, I felt, would make a great album title as I already had a concept of the art in my head. “The Day After Tomorrow Never Comes” I felt was too similar to a lot of the poppy songs I already had on the Nightmares album, I had too much. I wanted the next album to reflect more of both of those, dark and brooding and semi-happy pop but I also wanted more of what I felt Nightmares lacked (for me), more guitariness! Is that
