3.0 out of 5 stars What's Black & White and Rock'n'Roll All Over?, June 2, 2000

This review is from: In Black & White: Zebra Collection (Audio CD)

This is the album to get from Zebra. They were the "unknown" band with the semi-hit, Who's Behind the Door. This three man band's lead guitarist/singer, Randy Jackson, has the vocal stylings of a hard rock Frankie Valli. He has a HIGH voice. But that's okay, because it works on Zebra's music.

The songs Tell Me What You Want, Hard Livin' Without You and Wait Until the Summer's Gone really rock. There's also some more good, melodic tunes in Bears, Lullaby and Who's Behind the Door. Also fun is Riverside and Better Not Call. The other tracks are fair.

Zebra is really one of the great, but relatively "unknown" bands of the 80's and 90's. They're right up there with Steelheart, Thunder, XYZ and Shooting Star. Give them a try, there's some good stuff in this release.

5.0 out of 5 stars ALL OF THIS FROM A 3-MAN BAND?, June 22, 2000

If you're a fan of 80's rock, this is a sure-fire winner to add to your collection. Zebra is a band that produces one of the most unique sounds you will ever hear- why they never made it to the top of the world of rock is a mystery to me. If you haven't heard their music, buy this CD and enjoy the ride. If you have heard of this band, then you already have their previous releases in your collection.

This group reminds me of Rush in many ways: A three-man band with a distinctive sound, songs with excellent lyrics, and musicians who are very talented. In listening to this CD, it still amazes me that this band is a trio. Equally amazing is their ability to produce the goods on stage as well, as I have seen them live many times.

Go ahead and add to your cart one of the most overlooked bands of its era.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why was this band ignored?, April 12, 1999

Just goes to show how fickle the music industry is - if you promote, you win, if they don't like you and don't promote, you lose.... Zebra's sound remains to me one of the best examples of 80's rock that nobody ever heard... but should of! This album is fantastic - better production than the other cds..... Zebra has a web site too, at thedoor.com
