The Review:

Well there’s not much for me to say about this release except that you will not hear anything remotely similar to what Billy Greer does in the classic Kansas style. The music sounds more like it would be a hard rock and in some places a prog-metal version of Kansas. Closer to the 80's version of Kansas. Vocally Billy sounds very much like Steve Walsh without hitting the high notes. For you Kansas fans, there’s a nice treat on the bonus track “Remember You Well,” has Kerry Livgren guesting on it.

You won’t find anything complex on this CD so if that’s what you’re looking for, stay clear. But if you’re a fan of melodic rock and like the musicianship and vocals of Billy Greer then go pick yourself up a copy today.
