If you can't find what you're looking for - or wish to refine your search to include only references to the key search term - try putting inverted commas around the search term e.g. "Steve Lukather" or "Black Star Riders"
For example if you enter Black Star Riders the results will include all instances of "Black" "Star" and "Riders". The search will also be slower.

CHASING VIOLETS – Outside Heaven
Perris Records [Release date 03.07.12] This is an album I really wanted to like, the musicians roll-call reading like a Who’s Who of Melodic Rock in 2012. Yes, Denander’s here, Goran Edman (on ‘The Price To Pay’ and ‘Above Suspicion’), … Continue reading
