After more than three decades German rockers JADED HEART still are in the business, however during the last 20 years musically they morphed into a melodic metal band. The JADED HEART we largely prefer is their early era, the first decade when they were fronted by talented Michael Bormann, and their style was an awesome Melodic Hard rock / AOR mix.

John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band – Go Where The Action Is ) [Live 1986] (2024) mp3+flac

John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band is an American rock band from Rhode Island. The band was formed as simply “Beaver Brown” (named after a paint can) in 1972 and were one of the major acts in developing the heartland rock genre along contemporaries like Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and Bob Seger. Despite success as a live band which soon established a following up and down the Northeast corridor, they were overshadowed by (unfair) comparison to primary Bruce Springsteen. Their final breakthrough happened when long time fan, producer Kenny Vance, offered them the score to a movie soundtrack he was helming, based on a best-selling novel about a legendary bar band, Eddie and the Cruisers (1983).
