Ron Coolen - Here To Stay (feat. Keith St. John) (CD) Digipak

RON COOLEN is a Dutch guitar player having an album with American singer Keith St. John (MONTROSE, BURNING RAIN) ready. The songs are hard rock, partly slightly modern or even experimental but at the end of the day, it's a guitar album but one with an exeptional singer. Many additional guests like Timo Somers (g, ex DELAIN), Christopher Amott (g, ex ARCH ENEMY)  or Gus G. (g, FIREWIND) can be found, too. A little bit off th road for sure but including some really good songs ("Jaded Eyes" or "Firebird"). There's lots of rock but some ballads can be discovered, too. (MS)
