KANE ROBERTS - Unsung Radio (2012)
After having two of his solo albums reissued this year, ex- Alice Cooper guitarist KANE ROBERTS in conjuction with the Firefest Festival label is releasing a 2-CD set entitled "Unsung Radio".
The package includes Roberts' 3rd solo release under the moniker 'Phoenix Down' along with a full CD of 11 unreleased songs that scan his pre-Alice Cooper recordings to some recorded few years ago (several Jim Peterik co-writes) and an additional audio commentary.
Phoenix Down's "Under A Wild Sky" was originally published independently and become quite hard to find. It's a good Melodic Hard Rock album, where Roberts explores some more modern sounds than on his previous efforts, still faithful to the classic stylings of the genre. Now has been remastered and sounds much better.
The 2nd CD features new songs and really early tracks recorded during the eighties, some delivered with a really rough sound never heard from him.
Interspersed between them, it's really interesting to hear Roberts' commentaries about these previously unreleased tracks about what was happening during the recording sessions.
Released during Kane Roberts show in the last Firefest, "Unsung Radio" is a strictly limited edition of 500 copies only, this is sure to be a much sought after Melodic Hard Rock collector's item – and is a damned good CD as well!
