Gary John Barden - Empowered Emotions (CD)

Gary John Barden, formerly the frontman of MICHAEL SCHENKER and SILVER, still possesses a wonderful, soulful hard rock voice. He and his longtime songwriting partner, guitarist/keyboardist Michael Voss (CASANOVA, ex-MAD MAX), along with high-caliber guests like Tommy Denander (guitar, RADIOACTIVE), Don Airey (keyboards, DEEP PURPLE), and Brian Tichy (drums, ex-FOREIGNER, among others), demonstrate a real knack for hard rock that is at times bluesy, at times earthy, and always full of heart. Some of the songs on this album reflect a creative process spanning twenty-five years. Recommended tracks include "Hit The Ground Running" and "Ride Horsemen Ride." Genuine music from highly respected artists. (MS)
