"Skyscraper" is now available at Amazon, CD Baby and on iTunes!
Former JOURNEY Vocalist Steve Augeri and AOR cult Kings, TALL STORIES release their highly anticipated second CD, "Skyscraper". A multi-dimensional, "whisper to a scream" collection of melodically rich and rhythmically diverse songs that reinstate all that is right with Classic Rock and Roll. Borrowing from the past while fearlessly blazing towards it's future.
Tall Stories first rose to prominence upon the release of their self-titled debut album in 1991. At the vocal helm is Steve Augeri who previously provided the lead vocals for Journey, following Steve Perry's departure from the band.
Formed by Augeri with Jack Morer on guitars, Kevin Totoian on bass, and Tom DeFaria on drums, Tall Stories represents a group of musicians who were exposed and inspired by such diverse sounds ranging from: Blues to Rock, Funk, Country and Reggae. As a result, their music isn't typical of the standard rock genre.
Signed by Bud Prager's ESP Management (Foreigner, Bad Co., Mountain, Giant, Damn Yankees), Tall Stories' first album was produced by Frank Filipetti (Deep Purple, Kiss, Foreigner). While the musical climate in the United States in 1991 was going through a metamorphosis of its own, Tall Stories' debut album was a breath of fresh air in the melodic rock scene at the time. The band's unique musical core immediately became a sensation with rock fans and critics alike.
Tall Stories' rebirth offers its fans the opportunity to partake in what would be the band's second chapter. In addition to Tom DeFaria are a handful of stellar guest drummers to complete the picture. First, the talent of Rodney Howard (Avril Lavigne, Gavin DeGraw) contributed to "Stay" and "No Justice." Then the legendary Bobby Rondinelli (Black Sabbath, Rainbow, The Lizards) on the bombastic "River Rise." And last but not least, Nir Z (Genesis, John Mayer, Chris Cornell) on "Original Sin," "Eternal Light," and "Pictures of Summer" to name a few.
Produced by guitarist Jack Morer, Skyscraper stays true to the genesis of Tall Stories: music and songs that are as melodically rich and diverse as the band members themselves. From the opening track, "Tomorrow," an uptempo song reminiscent of U2 and Led Zeppelin, to the final song, "You Shall be Free," a Gospel number in every sense of the word, the new album is a musical tapestry of different colours and textures.
"Skyscraper" includes the following tracks: Tomorrow; Clementine; Original Sin; All of the World; Pictures of Summer; River Rise; No Justice; Eternal Light; Stay; You Shall be Free
