AS A WORLD CLASS ROCK vocalist, Joe Lynn Turner is at the top of the tree. His voice has blessed a number of projects from Fandango, Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen and Deep Purple to name just a few, but it's his 1985 debut solo album that showcases his ability to present a sound and a style that could easily settle any arguments about his wide ranging prowess.

Joe's range and delivery is utterly compelling; blessed with a rich velvety tone, his diversity is utterly unique elevating melodies and hooks way beyond normal expectations.  `Rescue You' was recorded after his stint with Rainbow, and made with the collaboration of a seasoned band, including drummer Chuck Burgi (Balance, Rainbow), keyboardist and songwriter Al Greenwood (Foreigner, SPYS) and guitarist Bobby Messano (Starz, Fiona).

It was this line-up that entered the famous Bearsville Studios in Upstate New York to cut this solo album, a record that further cemented his reputation as one of America's finest vocalists.

Produced by Roy Thomas Baker (Queen, The Cars and Journey), the album harnessed a deep melodic resonance and is crammed with superbly crafted songs, and arguably Joe's greatest vocal performances.

Amazingly it didn't make a commercial impact, floundering outside the Billboard top 100 despite the fact that Joe and band had secured some major touring opportunities including dates with Night Ranger and a major run supporting Pat Benatar.

Play this album now and be amazed at the quality of songs such as `Endlessly', Get Tough', `On The Run' and the title track.
