THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
JOHN WAITE...Rough And Tumble (2011)
(CD, Allmusic review)
When a record has one of the best classic rock tracks of the last ten years (Rough and Tumble), one of the best power ballads since the eighties (If You Ever Get Lonely) and one AC hit written all over (Evil) this mean that this is a winner!
