Head East-Head East

The Hard rock band Head East was formed in Champaign Illinois in 1968 by singer John Shlitt the other members were as follows Mike Somerville(guitar), Roger Boyd(keyboard),Don Birney(bass), and Steve Houston(drums). The band signed with A&M Records. In 1980 Don Birney and Mike Somerville left. John Schlitt was fired because of drug dependency. The two remaining members hired Mark Boatmam, Tony Gross, and Dan Odum. The album had four good songs the cover of Russ Ballerds "Since You've Been Gone", I'm Feelin Fine", "Dance Away Lover", and "Elijah" the song about the bible's old testament prophet. I give this album two and a half stars because it is chalk full of good songs with four great songs.

Thin Lizzy-Jailbreak

The sixth album released by the Irish hard rock band Thin Lizzy. Led by Phil Lynott (bass,vocals), Brian Downey (drums), Snowy White(guitar), and guitarist Eric Bell formed Thin Lizzy. Later the band had many other musicians join them such as Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson, Gary Moore, and John Sykes on guitar. Tommy Aldrige and Micheal Lee were on drums. Randy Gregal (bass guitar), and Eric Writton(keyboard). The band was also with a bunch of record companies such as: Decca Records, Vertigo Records, Mercury Records, EMI Records, Decam Records and others. the band split in the 80's. Jon Bon Jovi said that he based the whole style of his band off of Thin Lizzy. Jailbreak the album consisted of three great songs which where "The Boy's are back in Town", "Cowboy song", and "Jailbreak". "The Boy's are Back in Town" was the bands most famous song. I give this album 2 stars out of three because although there are good songs there are some not so good songs.
