Ex-House
of Lords vocalist's solo album is quality, melodic AOR. Not real heavy,
but rather focusing on melody and lyrical hooks. The production is excellent
as well. Former House of Lords guitar shredder Lanny Cordola is the guest lead guitarist on a few of the songs. James' is a guest on Lanny's
solo albums as well.
