FOREIGNER - With Heaven On Our Side

From their album Very Best & Beyond released in '92 this beautiful single only released USA # 103. Those were the last days of the magnificent combo formed by Lou Gramm and Mick Jones that released their last studio album together two years later.

Richard Marx - Take This Heart

From Rush Street released in '92 this song reached Billboard Hot 100 # 20.

SWEET F.A. - Stick To Your Guns (Released: 1989, MCA)

Formed in 1988 this Indiana band released only a couple of albums. Their first effort was this Stick To Your Guns, the album was recorded in Atlanta but due to poor sales, the album reached a sad USA # 161, MCA decided to drop the band.
The album is full of straight and raw Hard Rock with sleaze touches, everything works in this album.

One last thing... somebody should shoot the guy who told the singer (David DeLong) to wear those shorts in this video.

RICHIE SAMBORA - Aftermath Of The Lowdown (Release: Sep 18 - Dangerbird Records)

Bon Jovi's guitarist is back with a new album after 14 years. This effort is a prolongation of his late albums with Bon Jovi embracing a modern vibe. Raw guitars and some catching choruses for a good album but not espectacular, in fact this album could have been released under the name Coldjovi or Bonplay as you will notice in songs like the beautiful Every Road Leads Home To You...
Seven Years Gone is the best song in this album and the funny thing is that Richie's vocals reminds a lot of John Wetton... is it courious or not?
Will be released September 4 and though it's ok probably it won't rule the charts.

The Motherstation - Brand New Bag (Released: 1994, Atlantic/WEA)

Formed in 1990 this Memphis band released only one album back in 1994. Their sound has clear influences from the late 60's and early 70's Rock mixed with some Southern roots... they mentioned as their main influece british band Humble Pie. Is impossible not to think about the Wilson sisters specially because of the powerful vocals by Susan Marshall thought the sound of their music would be closer to Janis Joplin. Marshall sang backing voclas for acts like Lynyrd Skynyrd
Interesting album produced by Joe Hardy (ZZ Top) that didn't enjoy any success.
