Chris Cornell – Euphoria Morning – CD (A&M Records) Chris Cornell’s debut solo record is a sweetly seductive treasury of songs that reveals Chris’s quiet and thoughtful side. “Euphoria Morning” is quite a departure from the loud thunder of...

The Heartdrops – East Side Drive – CD (Melted Records) The music is straight ahead kick ass rock ‘n’ roll. However, the vocals and lyrics are a disappointment. The singer sounds like he’s trying to do a Joey Ramone impersonation on most...

Johnny Vance – Johnny Vance – Cassette (Note to Dayton locals: No, this is not the son of the crazy Nu-Sash window guy.) This Johnny Vance turns back the hands of time to create some timeless rock ballads in the vein of the Baby’s and Charlie Sexton. -...
