Mighty American AOR / melodic rockers AVIATOR released one of the greatest AOR / melodic rock albums of all time. Now we have here from singer / songwriter Ernie White’s vault the entire demos – The Sessions [2nd unreleased album] – the band recorded between 1989/90. The audio quality is far superior than some circulating the web, and the material on offer, a must have for fans and rarities collectors.
Although with some line up changes, Aviator continued as unit after the release of their awesome major label debut album, and composed / recorded these songs for a possible second LP that unfortunately, never materialized. The style on these songs are the same driving Melodic Rock / AOR of their first album, more rocking perhaps, according to the late ’80s sound of the genre.
The revised line-up – with the new men being ex-Magnum keyboard player Tommy Zito, and former Hot Tuna drummer Kenny Kness – spent a couple of years recording some particularly strong demos with which they hoped to sign another major deal.
Such a deal was not forthcoming however, and White split the band up to pursue a solo career in his native New Jersey.
A MUST HAVE, killer stuff for 80s fans, and as said, rare and a true collectors item.
