A Different Sound Than Their Damn Yankee Days.......2006-05-02

Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw, along with Ted Nugent and Michael Cartelone combined to form Damn Yankees in 1990. After two very successful albums, the group unexpectedly split up. But Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades produced this very fine collection of songs that has a very different sound than their Damn Yankees efforts.

Gone is Ted Nugent's screaming lead guitar, having been relpaced by a much more melodic sound. Tommy almost exclusively plays acoustic guitar on this CD, although he does pick up his trusty electric six string a few times as well. Jack handles most of the lead vocal responsibilities, and his bass playing is as good as ever.

All of the songs on this CD are very good, but "My Hallucination", " Come to be my Friend", and "Don't Talk to me Anymore" are a few of the best. In addition, "Blue Continental" and "Down That Highway" provide a classic southern-rock style that will surely please the listener. This CD is a definite departure of ways for both Tommy and Jack, who grew their reputations on loud guitar rock. But this CD is very special because it shows off the multiple talents of both Tommy and Jack.

I've been a fan of Styx, Night Ranger, and Damn Yankees for many years, and this CD deserves a place with these other great groups. Listen to this great CD and hear how two great hard rockers "mellowed out" and produced a very good CD.

Shaw Blades.......2005-11-26

I LOVE this cd!!! Excellent!! They both are so talented & their voices blend together so well. There isn't one bad song on this cd to me. I loved Damn Yankees, I love Styx, I loved Night Ranger so if you feel the same about those bands then you'll also love this cd. While you're at it check out Jack Blades solo cd it is also excellent!!!

Shaw/Blades a Great Duo.......2005-09-25

Both Tommy and Jack bring their best to this CD. Their harmony is tight, and their styles blend well. Reminiscent of their Damn Yankee days, but a bit more mellow without Ted Nugent's screaming guitar. Every cut held my attention from beginning to end. I play it over and over and never tire of it. I'm looking forward to their new effort, due out soon.

Ear Candy!.......2005-08-16

I had never heard of this duo, so I came to them with no preconceptions. My adoration of them is entirely due to their astounding vocal and lyrical performances on Hallucination album. The song to get me hooked was the catchy, Beatles reference heavy 'My Hallucination'. In fact, the Beatles influence is strong throughout the whole album. My particular favorites are 'Don't Talk To Me Anymore' (which anyone having lived and loved can appreciate) and 'Down That Highway' (which showcases some star guitar playing). 'Blue Continental' is irresistable. This is the album you pick up when you're in the mood to hear music but can't figure out WHAT you're in the mood for. Shaw and Blades is guaranteed to fit any mood. They're just that GOOD. I'm sitting on my hands waiting for the next album! I play the album frequently in the bar where I run karaoke, and am always questioned about it. It's got something for everyone. Five stars.

These guys are a great team.......2004-06-17

Years after it's release, I still enjoy this album a lot. I'm also still surprised that this one wasn't a bigger hit than it was. There are some VERY good songs on here. My favorites: I'll Always Be With You, Blue Continental, and Down That Highway.

There's been some talk that Tommy and Jack are working together on a new album. I hope they are. Hallucination deserves a follow-up!
