Damn Yankees by Damn Yankees (CD, Mar-1990, 1 Disc, Warner Bros. Records Record Label)

Tommy Shaw (former Styx) on vocals, "Sweaty Teddy" Nugent on lead guitar and Jack Blades of Night Ranger fame had a great new sound as the 90's kicked off. I saw these guys play at a festival here in Ohio in 1991 and they blew everyone away. Very melodic yet maintained that harder rock edge, they were easily one of the most talented of the new groups of the time, mainly because of all the experience that they'd gained from the previous material and bands they'd played in earlier in their collective careers. This debut release is easily their best effort, and the one that has the most recognizable songs. In fact, there's not a bad song on this cd, if your a fan of good hard rock music then you'd really enjoy this disk.

This was their first CD that they put out; sadly, they only released 2 CDs; one more, Don't Tread On Me, the following year; equally as good. They've also released 3 DVDs: One is as interview with some of their videos on it; one with all of their videos on it, and one as a live performance. I'm wondering why they never released their 'unplugged' songs, or their live performances as CDs? They too, would've sold like hotcakes even today. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to settle for Shaw & Blades 2 CDs & all the CDs & DVDs that I can find by Uncle Ted. Rock & Roll just don't get any better than this!

No Dislikes at all! This band absolutely ROCKS, and have a great sound! Used to have it, missed it, and wanted it back, so re-bought it again! Simply A Great CD!!!

Great Cd of some of rock and roll's most talented musicians. Every song is great, especiallly "Rock City".

Love the vocals on this cd, shaw at his best!!! High Enough and Come Again, 2 top rock love songs EVER! Great songs and Great memories!!!!

This album really brings back the taste of classic rock. I recommend this album to anyone who likes 70s rock. The only problem is that there should of been more songs on it. Only 10 songs doesnt really cut it. Other than that, a great attempt made success.

If you like Ted Nugent, Night Ranger, and heavy guitar buy this album! This CD rocks! My favorite tracks:
1. Coming Of Age
2. Bad Reputation
3. High Enough
