FrontPekko Heino's voice and style makes this one a clone of Brother Firetribe and Leverage......and that ain't bad!!! I've listened to it over and over and have decided it is really infectious melodic AOR. Besides the tracks offered here, there are some unreleased tracks out and about that I was able to get that are essential.
