Shortino ‎– Chasing My Dream [Japan Edition] 2009


I heard of this band while internet surfing and queried the site for bands that sound like FREE (Paul Rogers) or David Coverdale. Paul Shortino’s name surfaced, so I took a chance and purchased this CD. It is excellent. The band has a Free/Pauol Rogers quality, excellent guitar playing, heavy songs and excellent ballads. I RECOMMEND this CD to anyone who likes Free, David Coverdale, ZZ Top, Gary Moore, Axel Rudi Pell (Ballads CDs).
