Baton Rouge

American hard rock/AOR band from Louisiana that moved to Los Angeles; fronted by Kelly Keeling. Their debut album Shake Your Soul was released in 1990 on Atlantic.

Shake Your Soul (1990) reached #160 on the American charts (as noted in reviews). The band signed with Atlantic and worked with external writers/producers for their debut. Kelly Keeling is cited as the lead voice and guitar in contemporary reviews.

The available review celebrates Baton Rouge's 1990 debut Shake Your Soul as a warm, intelligently composed AOR/hard rock record. Kelly Keeling is highlighted as the band's standout voice. The album is described as underrated and stylistically rooted in late-80s arena/AOR traditions.

For:Fans of AOR, melodic hard rock and late-80s/early-90s arena rock.
