This review is from: Private Life (Audio CD)

Private Life was an AOR band featuring former members of Rod Stewart, Axis, and Badfinger with singer Kelly Breznik. Private Life's music was very slick, keyboard-based AOR similar to late-80's Heart. The band's 1990 self-titled follow up to their 1989 album Shadows features 9 ready-for-radio songs, including a nice cover of Van Morrison's "Domino." It's a bit less rocking than Shadows, but is still an enjoyable album if you're into this kind of music.

Despite catching the attention of Eddie Van Halen, who produced the album and took the band on tour with Van Halen, Private Life never really caught on. This ended up being the band's final release.

Private Life was very much a product of its time. You just don't hear this kind of music anymore, which I suppose could be called progress. If you're an AOR fan, an album like this will make you miss the good old days though.

Edition Notes: Private Life had been out of print for a while, and wasn't easy to track down. The good news is that the Wounded Bird label reissued the album along with Shadows on a single CD, which is also available on Amazon.
