Yes, hair metal represented the best and worst of rock music. And this band was ignored by the mainstream. BUT -- This band was exceptional -- the real deal, borne of Ozzy and Sabbath and blues-based hard rock. This album is excellent overall and every bit as good as the first. Lots of great vocals, extraordinary musicianship, dynamics, creativity and intensity. (EXCEPTION: The James Taylor cover is horrible in my opinion but hey, some people like it and not every stone is a diamond.) This is NOT today's fake cookie cutter rock. IF YOU CAN FIND IT, BUY IT.
If you enjoyed the first Badlands record, you owe it to yourself to pick this one up!!! They don't make REAL music like this anymore! This band was REALLY something special........

A little hard to find Blues rock CD with the late Ray Gillen.Very raw an quite melodic.Bands just don't play this brand of blues rock anymore.If you want to hear one of the best hard rock vocalists of the 8o's/90's,check out this stellar performance!Like Zeppelin,Bad Co,even Joplin and Stevie Ray!!Old School fuzzy Marshall guitar sound with lot's of Wah Wah pedal.American Idol contestant and southern rock recording artist Bo Bice Performed the song 'In A Dream' Twice on the show with much acclaim! Great Disc!!
This recording simply hits hard as Jake shreds that axe, well written songs played by top shelf musicians. Titles such as Whiskey Dust,and, Silver Horses are hard rockin' favorites, while Jakes slide guitar on the Voodoo Highway track is a sweet change of pace from the "in your face" hard rockers. The James Taylor, "Fire & Rain", cover brings back memorys as Badlands plays it even better than the original. Enjoy these tunes from the first song to the last, you won't be dissapointed if you're a Badlands fan!
This is a great following album to Badlands 1st album. Jake E Lee is one of the greats.
