BOB HANSON – ‘NUFF SAID 1990

On a small Canadian label called Lorotz yet distributed by the larger, well-known Word , here’s ‘Nuff Said by Christian rocker, Bob Hanson. This 1990 album has loads of screamin’ guitars and big production, and Hanson’s voice is almost identical to that of Asia ‘s John Wetton .

The music is hook-laden AOR similar to Battle Lines or Arcangel -era John Wetton , Stan Meissner and Arlen Salte . Tracks like “Cross at the Light”, “There Was A Time”, “Child on the Run” and “Great Love” are first class all the way… powerful anthems that really stick in your head over time.

01. Cross At the Light (4:04),
02. There Was a Time (4:27),
03. You Need To Know (4:06),
04. When It All Comes Down (4:30),

Pat Travers – Live at Rockpalast (1976) 2017


On November 4, 1976, a young guitarist and singer performed with his band at Rockpalast, is not only delivering a sensational show but also giving definite proof of a musical potential yet to be fulfilled. Almost four decades later, these recordings were finally unearthed and are officially available. Travers played together with bass player Peter Mars Cowling and drummer Nicko McBrain, the same Nicko McBrain that pounds the skins for Iron Maiden. I first saw Nicko play with his band Street Walker, Travers recalls.
