I remember the band live in Rochester, NY in 1979-1983, and loved their versatile sound and memorable original songs, and have their "Three Times Live" CD (recorded live before they opened for Queen in the early 80's), which is superb, so ordered this 90's version of the band with a new line-up surrounding band leader Jerry H. Excellent AOR, melodic rock from a band that had never received the promotional support from their record company to make it big, but had the sound and talent to do so. I recommed this CD--get their live CD also (try a websearch to find their homepage.)

Like George Von Trapp I am reawakened to the sound of music by Dakota in this album and their The Last Standing Man album. I first heard them perform at The Stone Balloon in Newark, Delaware in the late 1970's and they were good. Now they are better. Layered melodic rock with harmony and rhythm that is more appreciated each time you listen is what you find on this disc. I especially like the tracts Little Victories, Go Easy, IOU, Brother to Brother, The Deep and the remake of Workin' Hot. The feel and sound varies significantly but each song worked it's own magic in time. I highly recommend it and look forward to more from Dakota.
