LIAISON - Liaison (1989)

What 'Liaison' means? - Communication, co-operation, between two or more groups, working together.
And that's what the young Melby brothers (Tim & Lary) did here.
A great colection of superbly written songs.
They were born and raised in western North Dakota, and the Melby home was always filled with music, so Tim and Lary learned to play many musicial instruments at an early age.

A hallmark of this album is the top-notch production by Bill Baumgart (Idle cure, Chase), who also helped with the arrangements... and the hire of the monster session guys: musician's musician & teacher Michael Landau on guitars and the world-class drumming of Jeff Porcaro (TOTO).

The result is a glossy, harmony-filled album, to enjoy from start to finish.
Definitely a must for everybody who loves AOR/Westcoast music in the style of TOTO, White Heart, Giant, Richard Marx...
Sure, they are a christian band, but not praising all the time.

One of my '89 favorite albums, relatively easy to find on the web, but not @ this quality, including full artwork.
Highly Recommended
