Requested in "Request & Fill Corner" section...
This one was requested by a reader, and is a pleasure to post as it's a good '80s collectible.
There's not much info about CHRIS ANDREW or his "Hit And Run" album recorded in L.A. around 1986 and released one year later through the indie label Roadside Records.
The well known and always expressive Amy Holland is credited on backing vocals.
Andrew sings and play all the instruments helped in the production duties by Ross Pallone (Bryan Duncan, David Pack).
As you would expect, this is a pure mid-eighties sounding album with glowing guitars, candy-floss synths and compressed drums.
Andrew's vocals are good and polished for this style, which in many places reminds you Brian Spence, Billy Satellite, John Cafferty (Rocky IV soundtrack) and US Urgent. That's say: rockin' + poppy AOR with some hi-tech elements.
"Hit And Run" is totally '80s.
Mega Rare and good.

Muito obrigado por esse Cd meu amigo Camelblue. Sinceramente eu achei a voz do Chris muito parecida com a banda Boulevard(Canada). Impressionante esse disco, muito bom para ouvir!
This is just fantastic AOR! Thanks for this.
Could you re-post this one again? Thanks!
