Whoops, that sounds very promising, what I am listening right now! Lively, but anyway with heart and soul and also indigenously and equipped with a good and interesting songwriting, the album “Outside lookingn in” of BRUCE TURGON (Ex-Foreigner und Ex-Shadow King) is a great one. In coordination with many different hard rock musicians: The list of the participants is like a „Who is who“ of hard rock: With the help of Denny Carmassi – Drums (Heart, Whitesnake, Foreigner, Montrose), Rocket Ritchotte – Solo Guitar (David Lee Roth, Stan Bush, Cher, Rick Springfield), Scott McKinstry – Solo Guitar (Lou Gramm band), Ronnie Montrose – Solo Guitar, Lou Gramm – Background Vocals (Foreigner), Ricky Phillips – Background Vocals (Styx, Bad English), Tom Gimbel – Background Vocals (Foreigner), Diana Mills – Background Vocals came a well arranged and mixed album to life that really knows how to create tension. The dots on the “i” are the sing along compatible melodies that don´t sound too coltish.

BRUSE TURGON, who is not a unknown artist anymore in the hars rock/melodic rock area, early came to the music. But finally through his good friend Lou Gramm, the idea of a first solo album “Ready or not” was born. In the meantime a second album „Long hard look“ was recorded. And with the third baby, Bruce´s voice sound like a blend of Bryan Adams and Crystal Ball singer Mark Sweeney. With „Outside looking in“ rekindles the magic of SHADOW KING and unites the best FOREIGNER moments.
The catchiest song is „Living a lie“, but also the rest of the album is very promising.

An interesting work that finally rocks a bit better!
