I mentioned this album in my Top 50 but ended up giving the slot to a couple of other Slamer albums - in hindsight this one probably should've made it.
The production he gets on a small budget is about as good as it gets and the playing is always melodic and tasteful.
I'll go back to your Top 50 when I have some time, but do you have have a couple of recommendations for albums he plays on? I know his "main" band was Streets and then he played in a band called Seventh Key, or something like that...?
The first Streets album was a bit rough around the edges so I would go with Crimes In Mind ...........features Steve Walsh from Kansas. And yeah - the other album I mentioned in my top 50 was The Raging Fire from Seventh Key.
Those are probably his best for consistency. One of the better tracks on the first Streets album was If Love Should Go and there is a nice version of that as a bonus track on the very rare Japanese version of Slaves Of The New World. The first Steelhouse Lane album is worth a listen too but if you have a big AOR/melodic rock collection you probably have many of the songs on that album as they were largely songs he had already given to other artists prior. The other Seventh Key stuff is also worth tracking down.
He played most of the solos on Cherry Pie
Other than that , some people like his real early stuff from City Boy - never really got around to giving it a good listen but I have the album The Day The Earth Caught Fire , so presumably that's the one I decided was more my taste.
One old , rare Frontiers release that was also popular was the solo album he did for Terry Brock - Diamond Blue.
That should get you started
