Hard Rock Sleaze Glam AOR HEAVY
Album-oriented rock (abbreviated AOR) is an American FM radio format focusing on album tracks by rock artists. AOR evolved from progressive rock radio in the mid-1970s, using research and formal programming to create an album rock format with greater commercial appeal.
In 2015, the Derin Dow Band released the album Illuminate, which is comprised of 10 classic rock songs, 9 of which were penned by Derin, along with a heavy cover of Chicago’s classic 25 or 6 to 4.
Self-produced by Derin, this album features former Ambrosia keyboardist David Cutler Lewis, lead guitarist Rick Sailon, drummers Billy DiBlasi and Kevin Millar, and of course, Derin on vocals, guitar, and bass.

Hard melodic rock band, which was produced by Scott Gorham, guitarist of Thin Lizzy, for its short existence (12 years), has released 4 albums. The first singer was Andy Mclean, on the second – Tommy La Verdi, on the third – Hans Olav Solli and last – again Tommy La Verdi.
Despite dozens of bands playing in this style, 21 Guns sounds pretty cool and sometimes forcefully, sometimes even recalling the legendary Def Leppard.

This a a fantastic cd. Laid back in places, hard rocking in others, a range of styles of songs, but fantastic melodies throughout. Strangely, Cold Surprise and Running to Stand Still share the same melody line, but in completely different ways. Best songs, Sailor’s Song, Watershed, and Running to Stand Still.

With the prolific nature of Donnie’s talent, it always amazes me what he considers an ‘out-take’. Sometimes circumstances just prevent that extra song from being on one of his records, and other times gems just get forgotten along the way.
Being in the privileged position that we are, Lewis John and I found ourselves in the care of material that fits into the above categories, and returning to an idea I suggested to Donnie several years ago,
