Steve Maggiora - Echoes Of Us (CD)

American musician STEVE MAGGIORIA, who has previously performed on stage with TOTO as a keyboardist and backing vocalist, regularly releases excellent records featuring a mature blend of rock, West Coast, soul and elements of pop and singer-songwriter music. "Echoes Of Us" is no exception. A powerful voice, profound lyrics and a multi-layered production rich in detail make this work truly shine. The emotional title track is a particular highlight. Subtle influences from the likes of BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN and CHRIS REA can also be discerned. (MS)
