As one of the defining albums of the burgeoning 80s AOR scene Native Sons is recognised as a classic of the genre, a record that should have turned this relatively unassuming band into household names.Formed in Scotland, the band s fortunes had been impeded by a crucial line up change just after the release of their debut album with frontman Tony Liddle exiting. His replacement was Atlanta, Georgia based vocalist Tony Brock, a man who had been carving out a solid career in the US as an in-demand backing vocalist, including work with Kansas. It was Brock who supplied the ingredient that would take them to a level of sophistication that previously they had only hinted at.A voice like an angel, Brock s inate ability to squeeze out the maximum melodic goodness from every track, coupled with his and Ian Stewart s remarkable song writing ability produced a record that connoisseurs of the genre believe easily rivals the best work of Journey, Foreigner and Survivor. Originally issued in 1988, Native Sons is a stunning collection of songs and performances that has dated not one jot. It is arguably one of the top five AOR albums of all time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40940730974305,"sku":"0827565057948","price":14.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/orig_592006_1368247_jpg.jpg?v=1705479380","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0827565057948-native-sons","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
