Their self-titled debut album from 1985 is regarded as all-time classic by many fans of the keyboard driven AOR genre but couldn&#8217;t reach the commercial success it deserved at the time. Fronted by the talented singer Larry Greene (Harlan Cage, 101 South) the band has had a reunion a while ago which resultet in the release of their album &#8220;II&#8221; in 2019 which was supported with a live performance last year&#8217;s Frontiers Rock Festival in Milan in April last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sound is okay for a festival recording and the band showed up in fine shape. Especially Greene&#8217;s voice hasn&#8217;t lost any magic through the years. New keyboard player Mark Nilan filled in Roger Scott Craig&#8217;s big shoes with an impressive performance. After a few spins of the audio version of this release, I have to admit that &#8220;The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter&#8221; probably is one of my personal top 10 fave tracks from the era. In a world full of justice, FORTUNE would have become huge &#8211; and the same goes for 101 South and Harlan Cage both as some sort of follow-up bands &#8211; as these guys have massive talent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Gun&#8217;s Still Smokin&#8217; Live&#8221; comes as CD\/DVD set.
