Jim Peterik & World Stage - River of Music: The Power of Duets, Vol. 1 (CD)

Probably one of the best songwriter in terms of AOR and classic rock still delivers great stuff in the autumn of his career which is more than good news. JIM PETERIK (ex-SURVIVOR, IDES OF MARCH) puts out a new album under the banner of JIM PETERIK & WORLD STAGE. Ten tracks, all of them duets, full of emotions and brilliant melodies. Apart from Peterik himself you can hear e.g. Toby Hitchcock (PRIDE OF LIONS), Cathy Richardson (STARSHIP), Kevin Cronin (REO SPEEDWAGON), Jason Scheff (ex-CHICAGO) and Peterik's son Colin. Produced by Ron Nevison (u.a. HEART, FOREIGNER). A new version of SURVIVOR's "In Good Faith" is remarkable, too. A great piece of handmade music! (MS)
