Deacon Street Project – Deacon Street Project (2004), MP3+FLAC (Remaster 2020)

HQ, Melodic Rock | AOR Leave a comment

Front
After the Tommy Denander band Rainmaker album reissued and featured here, many asked for his next own project, DEACON STREET. The first DEACON STREET PROJECT album originally released by AOR Heaven Records in 2004 was a much more AOR focused release than Rainmaker, inspired by Tommy’s early 80s influences such as TOTO, Talk Of The Town, etc.


This is the DEACON STREET PROJECT first album reissue remastered by Tommy Denander himself. This is the kind of records you never get tired of: great songwriting & arrangements, that magical AOR sound from the classic era but also updated to modern times, and first class musicians involved.
On lead vocals we find Jan Johansen (Ignition), Geir Roenning (Rainmaker, Sayit), Magnus Wein
