Based around the guitar talents of Jerry Riggs, this is the only album that was released under the name Riggs. They also managed to get two tracks on the soundtrack for the movie Heavy Metal, although they aren’t on this release.
Produced by Andy Johns, this is a great sounding record. It leans more to the AOR than the heavier stuff, even though lead off track Ready Or Not is a kick ass beefed up tune with a riff that sounds VERY familiar. The other song that really shakes my tree is Side 2 opener Depending On Love, with a similar groove and vibe.
You can see why this didn’t last too long as they didn’t seem to be too sure which direction to take. Nevertheless, it should appeal to fans of AOR and it does have a great production.
7/10 from The Grooveman.
