Peterik & Scherer - Risk Everything

[Fire breath]

Metalheads look away now. This one's for old Survivor fans to get excited over. Peterik of course everyone knows. The other guy is a complete unknown plucked from singing clubs or something. The guy looks like a middle aged banker but damn the dude has a superb voice. He has a great tone and edge to his voice perfect for this kind of light AOR with the typical Survivorish melodies from Mr. Peterik. The video features the hot blond chick from the Survivor vid I Can't Hold Back but now she's a full on MILF! Proper cheesefest of a vid but if this was the '85 the song would have been bothering the top end of the charts no doubt. If they make some more upbeat numbers and not more than 2 sappy ballads then this album will be a corker for AOR freaks out there.

Been looking forward to this. Jim is a great songwriter and always finds the perfect voice to deliver his message. I'm sure this will be a lot like Pride of Lions, but I think I'm liking this guy's voice a bit more than toby.

Yup, that's a really cool AOR tune. Love the solo (man, that guitar is awesome!). The singer has a great voice for this music for sure.

I agree with the review. Maybe I'd rate it 90 though but it's still an amazing aor record.
