Shine Stan Bush (September 2004 L.A. Records) Stan Bush truly is one of the gods of melodic rock. His solo recording career started of back in 1983 with the release of his self-titled album, but it was four years later in 1987, with the classic melodic rock album 'Stan Bush & Barrage' on Scotti Bros, that he began to make waves. Tracks from the album were selected for two films: 'The Touch' was the title track for 'Transformers: The Movie', whilst 'Heart vs Head' was featured in the movie 'The Wraith' starring Charlie Sheen. As a vocalist, Stan has sung on many major albums, including releases by Alice Cooper, Jefferson Starship and Rick Springfield, while as a songwriter he supplied, among others, House of Lords (Love Don't Lie) and Quiet Riot (Slave To Love). Stan then wrote with Jonathan Cain (Journey, Bad English) and Jim Vallance (Bryan Adams, Aerosmith). 2004 sees the man releasing his brand new slice of melodic rock. The new album Shine is a melodic rock gem and definitely another great step to restore the faith in the songwriting and performing abilities of this great artist. Featured on the album is an amazing lineup featuring guitarist Tim Pierce (Rod Stewart, Phil Collins, Bon Jovi, Celine Dion, Joe Cocker, Goo Goo Dolls etc.), bass player Matt Bissonette (David Lee Roth, Gino Vannelli, Steve Perry, Peter Frampton, Joe Satriani etc.), Curt Cuomo on keyboards and drummer Kenny Aronoff (Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tony Iommi, Celine Dion, Amanda Marshall, Richie Sambora, Rod Stewart, Rolling Stones, Meatloaf, Jon Bon Jovi etc.), with former Boston and Airplay singer Tommy Funderburk helping out on background vocals. Stan also shot a video for the song Falling which is the highlight of the album and definitely a true melodic rock classic in the making! Shine is another true classic from one of the best loved artists in the scene today, and one that will surely be promoted on the live circuit in the not too distant future.
