TONY SCIUTO “Temptation Alley” CD

★Supervision and commentary: Kanazawa Toshikazu (Light Mellow)

"The long-awaited new album from AOR singer Tony Sciuto, known for the classic song "Island Night." It's been about two and a half years since his great album "Under the Raider." His constant live performances and creative endeavors have culminated in this adult pop rock album "TEMPTATION ALLEY"!" -- Kanazawa Toshikazu

Tony Sciuto, an American singer-songwriter, whose debut album "Island Nights" was a huge hit in Japan in 1980 and is still talked about as a masterpiece that heralded the beginning of 80's AOR. His talent as a songwriter is also highly regarded, and he has written songs for Tina Turner, Don Johnson, BJ Thomas, and others. He has also been active as a member of the Little River Band and Players. In 2012, Tony performed in Japan for the first time in 31 years, and it was still a hot topic. Now, he has completed his first new album in about two and a half years since his previous album "Under The Rader"! The songs, which are bursting with a superb sense of melody, are packed with the flavor of the old West Coast sound, but also shine with a surprisingly fresh brilliance. Sparkling masterpieces such as "Heal with Me" and "Quick and the Dead" are sure to make all AOR and West Coast fans cheer with joy. The Japanese version includes an additional bonus track, "One More Time Until Tomorrow," recorded in 1978.
