On April 26, the classic AOR band, Fortune, releases its new album “II” via Frontiers Records.The cult melodic rock/AOR heroes Fortune are back with a new studio album.
The seeds of Fortune were planted by brothers Richard and Mick Fortune, who came from a family of professional musicians. Richard started playing guitar in his teens and went on to play and tour with the likes of Buddy Miles, Booker T & The MG’s and Spirit, while Mick started out as an accordion, keyboard and trombone player before switching to drums. The brothers formed Fortune in the late 70’s and released a self-titled album for Warner Brothers in 1978, but by the early 80’s they had revamped their group via the acquisition of keyboardist Roger Scott Craig (previously been a member of Scouse combo Li
