Silver Condor had a few minor radio songs, back in the hey day of the AOR (album oriented rock) radio format. This is their 2nd release. The track that received airplay here is "Holdin On (Barely)", featuring Neil Schone on guitar. The neat thing about this record is the all star cast. Steve Plunket (pre Autograph) and Kenny Aaronson (Rick Derrenger) are in the band. Other guests include Clarence Clemons and Waddy Wachtel. The album was mixed by the legendary Andy Johns. The music is kind of bland and more blues based than most AOR bands of this period - still, "Holdin On" is a solid track and worthy of owning, if you enjoy AOR of this era. ...If you can find it, Silver Condor's first release features two radio songs: Angel Eyes and For The Sake Of Survival. Steve Plunket is not in the band but Earl Slick is (David Bowie, Phantom Rocker & Slick).
