CD released: Jul 16, 2012
Digitally remastered deluxe edition of this 1985 album from the Hard Rock band featuring Dennis Stratton (Iron Maiden) and Steve Mann (Michael Schenker Group). Regarded as something of a mini-supergroup at the time, Lionheart burst on to the scene in a flash of excitement, and were snapped up by industry powerhouse CBS Records. Recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Kevin Beamish (REO Speedwagon, Jefferson Starship), Hot Tonight is a premiere slice of melodic hard rock from a band keen to promote catchy hooks and a superior glossy sound to rival the best of the biggest selling American AOR bands. Originally issued in 1985, it was an album instantly embraced by fans and critics alike, offering up a brace of superlative tracks, including 'Wait for the Night', the title track and the album highlight 'Towers of Silver', a song to rival the best work of Journey and Styx. |
