Album Description
Digitally remastered import reissue of the 1984 album from Giuffria, led by former Angel keyboardist (and future House Of Lords member) Greg Giuffria and featuring Craig Goldy (Dio), David Glen Eisley (Stream) and Chuck Wright (Quiet Riot). One of the most under-rated Hard Rock albums of the '80s, Giuffria (the album) has continued to be a must-have by fans of everything that is AOR. The band's recorded legacy may not be huge, but their loyal fanbase continues to spread with each passing year. 10 tracks including 'Call To The Heart'. Axe Killer.
Customer Reviews
Quality 80's rock
Having once again heard the song 'Call to the Heart' on an internet radio station, I had to get this CD. Have the remnants of the cassette which was played so much it was worn out. One of the greatest bands from the 80's, too bad they didnt continue to put out music as a group. This is some of the best 80's rock ever. Really pumps you up and puts you in a great mood, like most of the 80's bands. FYI-- I picked up a copy of Silk and Steel on CD at a Target store, out of the blue one day. Never would have thought I would find it there. I prefer this disc. Would consider selling the copy of Silk and Steel.
STILL DOES ME RIGHT.....CALLS TO MY HEART!
Simply hands down the best pomp rock CD ever. This CD is without doubt one of my desert island discs. Ok, so where to start, lets see....do you love keyboards set to stun? Well you get them here in abundance. Do you love well crafted songs with hooks so strong they never leave you? Well you get that too! Do you like your vocalists to have a little more originality than the latest Robert Plant wannabe? Well you get one here too! This lp never left my stereo when I first bought it in 1984 and it is 2000 now (jeez) and now on crystal clear CD it still spins with regularity. Stand outs? Well Greg's hair on the back cover for a start..(the man is a God)... though seriously song wise try these, the single "Call to The Heart" which is perfectly crafted AOR suitable for radio though not lacking in originality.The magical "Line Of Fire" with its swirling intro,and the room spinning "Out of The Blue" which is the best thing to which Greg Giuffria put a keyboard since Angel. Dont let it go out of print again before you think of buying this one. It took me nearly twenty years to find this on CD! Now..... has anyone found Silk and Steel yet?
Stunning album
This album is simply stunning. The first time I heard it in the late 80s, I couldn't believe my ears. Giuffria sets the keyboard on fire, and the rest of the band fills in with melodic energy. These guys were way ahead of their time. Although they're (unfairly) lumped in with the rest of the 80s hair metal bands, they actually really had something to offer. The music is majestic, bombastic and haunting. Not a bad track on the entire album.
