Jim
Peterik has been one of the biggest names on the Rock / AOR scene
for the last forty years. He has delivered high-class music with
Survivor, 38 Special, Ides of March and Pride of Lions and
co-written songs with Sammy Hagar, John Wetton and Cheap Trick.
“Above
the Storm” is the second solo album from Jim Peterik; the first
one “Don’t Fight That Feeling” was released in 1976.
The
music on “Above the Storm” is a mixture of Pride of Lions,
Survivor and 38 Special. There are a couple of hard rocking tracks
like “Live Life” and “Secrets of a Woman”, but most of the
tracks are pure AOR.
Usually
I’m not an AOR guy but after several spins I was hooked,
“Stand and be Counted”, “Hiding from Yourself”,
“Midnight in my Soul” and “We believe” are pure AOR magic.
If
you are into the above mentioned bands or simply want a good Rock
/ AOR album, then check “Above the Storm” out.
Recommended tracks:
“Live life”, “Stand and be Counted” and “Secrets of a
Woman”.
