CD Reviews

Great Compilation of Lost AOR Gems
Justin Gaines | Northern Virginia | 04/26/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Private Life was an AOR band featuring former members of Rod Stewart, Axis, and Badfinger with singer Kelly Breznik. Private Life's music was very slick, keyboard-based AOR sounding like a cross between late-80's Heart (musically) and Vixen (vocally).



This compilation features both of the band's albums in their entirety - 19 ready-for-radio songs, including a nice cover of Van Morrison's Domino and a very serene (and unexpected) rendition of Amazing Grace.



Private Life was very much a product of its time. You just don't hear this kind of music anymore, which I suppose could be called progress. If you're an AOR fan, a collection like this will make you miss the good old days though.



These albums had been out of print for a while, and weren't easy to track down. Thanks to the Wounded Bird label, which has been busy lately reissuing other lost gems from the likes of Bad Company and Rough Cutt, Private Life's albums are finally seeing the light of day again.
