Not only had he won every Brad Delp lookalike contest with ease, more impressing was how relaxed he managed the task of doing the difficult job of a true vocal icon (R.I.P.). Finally DeCarlo \u00a0found the time to form a band with his guitar playing son Tommy jr. and record his very first solo album. Simply called DECARLO, the outfit is completed with bass player Brett Nelson and drummer Dan Hitz. Unlike to former BOSTON vocalist Fran Cosmo, Tommy was smart enough to rely on his strenghts and offer a record close to the music he does for his boss Tom Scholz. That doesn\u2018t mean the man is a copycat but some similarities to RTZ (\u201cThere She Goes\u201c) and ORION THE HUNTER (without reaching both their class) are inevitable. I have to confess that after nearly ten spins Lightning doesn\u2018t strike twice (not even once). Nevertheless, the CD is a more than solid effort beating all BOSTON albums including \u201cWalk On\u201c without difficulties. The most important question for me: Is Mr. Scholz cool enough this time to accept the Tommy DeCarlo solo flight?\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
