Damn Yankees - Damn Yankees (CD) - CD

Details: Digitally remastered and expanded edition including one bonus track. Supergroups come and go; often in an initial blaze of glory and then more often than not disappear in a puff of smoke due to a lazy work ethic and the sound of clashing egos. This was not the case with Damn Yankees, a veritable smorgasbord of prime time American musical hard rock talent: Ted Nugent, Tommy Shaw (Styx), Jack Blades (Night Ranger) and drummer Michael Cartellone. A four man wrecking crew who came together with the objective of celebrating not only their considerable reputations but also to establish a new beachhead for further success. Recorded in Los Angeles, the record exceeded all expectations, providing the band with a springboard to double platinum success, a #13 place on the Billboard LP chart and an impressive run of sold out live dates. Musically, the band were firing on all six cylinders, notching up an impressive number of hits and anthems such as 'Come Again', 'Coming of Age', 'Runaway' and the massively successful power ballad 'High Enough', a song that reached #3 on the US singles chart.
