Maybe the name JERRY G. HLUDZIK doesn't ring a bell to you, but the man has created some of the greatest AOR tunes ever wrote. He's one of the founder members of classic AOR outfit Dakota, and as well has been releasing solo albums from time to time via his own, small recording label.
This "Just Letting It All Go", his last solo album, offers many points in common with Dakota, but the overall style is classic American classic rock with a MidWestern AOR flavor.
"Hole In My Pocket" sounds a lot like Dakota, "On A Day Like Today" is like a Nelson song in the 21st century, and "One From The Heart" is a fantastic AOR ballad (and maybe the best song on offer here) much in the vein of Night Ranger's acoustic '80s songs.
"Just Letting It All Go" is a solid piece of music, very well homemade produced & engineered featuring some of finest songwriting heard in a long time. Jerry G. Hludzik is a talented craftsman, and this album oozes quality from every corner.
Thanx rockland for this one, I miss you my frined.

Jerry G. Hludzik's polished voice and catchy melodies possess a high recognition factor that inevitably recall those golden Dakota days which still cause a sensation among inclined AOR listeners to date. In fact, this album, one of Mr. Hludzik's late works, is a sophisticated bow to his eventful history that left its meaningful footsteps in the universe of a whole genre. Therefore, I say thanks, Camelblue, for this exquisite feature which has aged well like only a timeless wine can do.
Bye for now,
Thomas
