Yep, sure do! Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember reading the singer had died...?

Yea, I cn't remember his name...
Ray Gillan???

I had this cassette way back when it came out.
Jake E Lee tore it up!
I wish he would've stayed more productive
in the 90's. The guy is a phenominal player.

Hey Carlitto (it's Melissa, just changed my screen name, lol)

Yep, that name sounds familiar...I was about to look it up for sure. Jake E. Lee was awesome, I had the cassette too (actually still do somewhere in this house, lol).

Found it...Ray Gillen, he died in 1993.

I remember Badlands.

Do any of you remember Baton Rouge? They only released two albums, but very good ones.

Here is their hit:

I've got one of their songs, "Winter's Call", on my favorites list. Great tune.

They had a Black Sabbath & Ozzy Osbourne connection. Jake E. Lee was Ozzy's guitarist on the "Bark at the Moon" and "The Ultimate Sin" albums. A couple of the original members were also in Black Sabbath for a short time, Eric Singer and one other guy...Can't remember his name right now. Paul O'Neill, producer and writer for Savatage & TSO, also produced their debut.
