Turn Back the Clock is one of my all-time favorite smooth pop albums and it seems that Clark & company have picked up right where they left off. I'm going to keep your blog on my radar from now on. I also see you're a fan of ABC. I actually drove Fry's PR on his American Regeneration Tours in 08 / 09. I'll see Mr Fry and the lovely Julie this weekend in fact. Alphabetically hip, Jeremy K.

This is my first post here. Just want to say thanks.<br /><br />Clark Datchler released a good solo album in the 90s as well. 'Magnetized' definitely brings back the good old JHZ tunes which I love.<br /><br />Between their debut album & Magnetized, I evolve from a high schooler to a father of a 14 year old daughter. Gosh, I wish I can turn back the clock;)saputrajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114304200167781119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558055401220732192.post-81925233246969938742013-04-21T17:27:05.451-04:002013-04-21T17:27:05.451-04:00Everyone likes a bit of Johnny.

I'm a big fan of their music and I'm really happy to hear about their new material. The latest single and title track to their upcoming album sounds really, really good. I love it and I can't wait for its release late next month.musicdivaSFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413625224889406733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558055401220732192.post-60057202333845858512013-04-15T16:08:38.851-04:002013-04-15T16:08:38.851-04:00Right there with you, Vinny—Turn Back the Clock is...Right there with you, Vinny—Turn Back the Clock is still one of my all-time favorites, which I don't get to say in public very often. This one isn't grabbing me as immediately as the stuff off that album, but I'm also glad they're sticking to what worked for them before since they didn't do all that much of it in the first place.<br /><br />Also: No posts about your work on the reissue of JHJ contemporaries Breathe?

I liked the PThornalley led JHJ, but pop music was so in flux at the end of the 80's it was easy to lose track of JHJ from one release to the next.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.com
