SYNCH
| Genre : | AOR |
| Country : |  |
| Description : | Produced by non other than Dakota main men Gerry Hludzik & Billy Kelly, Synch delivered us a fantastic Aor album in much the same vein as the Gerry Kelly album and Dakotas 1st release.
But, dare I say it this is actually better than the aforementioned Aor/Westcoast classics with the brilliant songs being almost an aor cliché. Almost!
But they are some of the most word perfect Aor/West Coast tunes you are ever likely to hear, with massive hooks, huge dollops of harmony, and a pop appeal that should have given them masses of chart success. And did…in a roundabout way.
A sure sign of the songwriting quality on offer was the fact that on vocalist ,Jimmy Harnens one and only solo effort "Can't Fight The Midnight" included the Synch standard "Where Are You Now" and was released as a single eventually peaking at #79 in the national Billboard charts!
Included on the Synch album were two live tracks recorded at, what sounded like, the local high school...Seaton Catholic girl's school?! Lucky guys!
Jon Lorance would later join Jimmy Harnen for his solo album, and then Dakota for their "Last Man Standing" opus. Also note that Dakotas keyboarder Rick Manwiller made a guest appearance on "Get The Feelin".
Classic stuff for fans of Adrenalin (circa"Road of The Gypsy"), Preview, Frankie and the Knockouts, and any old Aor romantics who enjoyed those long hot 80's, summer nights.
"GTF" is long overdue a re-issue that sadly will probably never see the light of day due to the involvement of so many different parties, and the legal "wrangling" that it might entail. Damn shame!
These days Jimmy works as Sr. Director of National Promotion, Capitol Records, Nashville.
