Strangeways - Walk In The Fire (Full Album, 1988, Scotch AOR/Melodic Hard Rock)

The third album from the Glasgow based AOR act Strangeways, although not quite up to the awesome standard of their previous album 'Native Sons', is still a fine piece of work that ranks comfortably alongside anything that was coming from across the Atlantic at the time. Terry Brock had made a very successful career out of singing backing vocals on some of the biggest albums of the period, including for Journey & Foreigner. His voice complements the band's sound perfectly. Released here in a remastered form with expanded artwork, sleeve notes from Classic Rock magazine's Dave Ling and with two previously unreleased bonus tracks, this is the best this album has ever looked or sounded.
Originally released in 1989, Walk in the Fire was the third album from UK-based Strangeways, one of the better AOR/melodic rock acts of that decade (and you know that's saying something), and the last Strangeways album (until recently) to feature vocalist extraordinaire Terry Brock.

Walk in the Fire may not be quite as impressive as the band's 1987 masterpiece Native Sons, but it is still a first class AOR album. This was Terry Brock's second album with the band, and he delivers another knockout performance here. To my ears, the band took a somewhat less rocking approach on this album, coming in somewhere between Brian Howe-era Bad Company and Lou Gramm's solo material. The songs are all quite good, but with a little more punch I think this album could have been as powerful as Native Sons. Still, as late `80s AOR albums go, it's hard to beat this gem.

If you're a fan of that larger than life 80's AOR/arena rock sound, Walk in the Fire is bound to satisfy. Strangeways should have been huge back in the day, and they're still well worth discovering all these years later.

Edition Notes: Majestic's 2006 reissue of Walk in the Fire features a much-needed digital remastering and two live bonus tracks - "Breakin' Down the Barriers" and "Walk in the Fire." It's a first-class upgrade of an already excellent album. Majestic's reissues of Strangeways and Native Sons are also worth picking up.
