Two
Fires
is back, or should I say Kevin Chalfant? Because he is the only remaining member
from the line-up from their two earlier highly acclaimed albums, but no need to
worry, the quality hasn't suffered one bit. Kevin Chalfant is one of the longest
serving members of the AOR and melodic rock scene, spending his time in bands
like 707, Journey, The Storm, The Alan Parsons Live Project and Two Fires.
And his signature is clear and bright on this album...
"Burning
Bright" is a perfect mishmash of what this genre has to offer, never at any
stage leaving the very safe confinements, but still delivering at a high level.
Don't expect any thinking out-side of the box here, all the fine virtues and
trademarks are covered with conviction. Star of the show is clearly Kevin
Chalfant and he does it in style without stealing the show, leaving enough room
for everyone to shine on their own.
This is
early 90s style melodic rock brought up to date sound wise, solid as a rock
arena rock that should go down like sweet honey for any Journey or The Storm
fan. Another fine Frontiers Records release that proves that they are setting
the pace, making it hard for the rest to catch up with them...
Good one!
