A glowing review of Damn Yankees' 1990 debut, praising the supergroup chemistry of Tommy Shaw, Ted Nugent and Jack Blades with Michael Cartellone. The album is described as melodic, technical hard rock with hit singles 'Come Again' and 'High Enough' and certified double platinum. The review notes a successful 1990 American tour with Bad Company and the group's 1992 follow-up 'Don't Tread' before dissolution.

For:Fans of late-80s/early-90s melodic hard rock, AOR listeners, and followers of Tommy Shaw, Ted Nugent, and Jack Blades.

 Just when the era of the so-called 'Hair Bands' was drawing to a close, three rock heavyweights (Tommy Shaw, Ted Nugent, and Jack Blades) and a young talent (Michael Cartellone on drums) joined forces in this supergroup, delivering one of the last waves of melodic and technical Hard Rock before Cobain and his strumming friends arrived and set new rules on how to 'rock'.
