Taking a cold look - 1983 (with lyrics)Notes:
- The 'Taking A Cold Look' album features a real Who's Who of AOR, including TOTO members STEVE LUKATHER who co-produced the album with Keith Olsen), David Paich and Steve Porcaro, and the heavyweight sessioneering trio of exAIRBORNE and IRONHORSE drummer Mike Baird, keyboard player Alan Pasqua and bassist Dennis Belfield. All three performed similar supporting roles with VAN STEPHENSON.
Kelly and Steinberg's true talents lay in their songwriting abilities. The duo achieved huge success for penning 'Like A Virgin' for MADONNA for example.
'Taking A Cold Look' features the original recording of the pair's 'Alone', a track later turned into a huge hit when covered by HEART. -
- Now we are right into classic AOR territory, and that's what we're here for isn't it? I now have this classic from 1983 on CD after having only heard it on about a tenth generation tape. There are two words that describe this album, 'bloody' and 'essential'. Yep, you must own this album, no self respecting AOR fan should be without it. From the era we all love (the prime period of AOR, 1980-1989), this legendary release has all the hallmarks of a classic, with fabulous songs, breathtaking melody, and brilliant production by what was at the time the industry's best.. Keith Olsen. This one off project is the brainchild of both Steinberg and Kelly, who are master songwriters, responsible for some of the more memorable tunes over the past few decades. It features top session musicians from that era, most notably Steve Lukather and Alan Pasqua who seemed to have been sleeping around with quite a few of the top AOR artists of the generation. It's an album of chilling class and features everything a dedicated AOR fan craves for. Strong rockers, atmospheric ballads and bits in between. -
