5.0 out of 5 stars Feed The Fire Excels, March 18, 2000

Once again John Kay has given us great music with meaningful and relevant lyrics. Every song on this CD is solid. In a world, particularly a genre (rock) where so much negativity abounds, Kay and partner Michael Wilk, write songs that address the human condition while containing positive and inspirational messages. And still, they rock with the best of them! "Feed the Fire" is outstanding!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of their finest releases ever!, February 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Feed the Fire (Audio CD)

FEED THE FIRE is a thought provoking, and highly polished collection of new material from John Kay and his highly talented crew. This release continues in the Steppenwolf tradition of providing quality lyrics delivering pertinent messages while entertaining you with brilliant musicianship. The title cut is an exceptional slower tempo piece which demonstrates just how versatile this group can be. This album will provide many hours of enjoyment for anyone who doesn't mind catchy tunes hanging around in their head all day. A "must buy" for anyone who is tired of music without meaning.

3.0 out of 5 stars Missing the original Stepponwolf, October 25, 2002

This review is from: Feed the Fire (Audio CD)

As a traditionalist who's into the older original sounds of Stepponwolf, it was hard for me to get into this. It took repeated listenings to finally start to appreciate John Kays message. The recording is just to modern for the kind of Stepponwolf I like. John Kays vocals are good but it sounds like he recorded his parts later after all the other parts were recorded first. He's not jamming with the band,instead it sounds as if he is singing over the top of everthing else. Many artist record that way now without the listener noticing it but they did a poor job with this one. There are a few good songs I liked but most I did not care for. The instruments are recorded well. The drums in particular were recorded nicely but he plays to basic in comparison to the original drummer who is excellent. Final thought: If your a John Kay fan Buy it! If your a Stepponwolf the group fan Skip it!
