I'm a huge fan of both Steelhouse Lane albums and have heard that Mike Slamer was previously involved with other projects. Does anyone have any info on these bands as well as opinions on how they sound? Thanks!

since I am not old enough, I started to learn more about it "backwards":
first I heard the fantastic steelhouse lane, then streets and last but not least city boy.
now I own almost all of his albums, including the last city boy album "It's Personal" on cd-r and two city boy live recordings, also on cd-r.
I am still searching for the 2 streets studio CDs.
as told before, they were released on cd by a company called renaissance records, if I am not wrong.
I have never seen them.
I can't wait to get the new slamer cds:
the steve walsh (kansas, ex-streets) solo album with slamer and billy greer (also kansas, ex-streets). almost a streets reunion!
and his other project with manfred mann singer chris thomspon.
the future will be great!

Slamer is one of the best guitarists this country has ever produced.
I suggest you go to City boy web site for more info. Sorry I haven't got the link to hand.
Some of the guitar riffs were amazing and the band vocal harmonies were on a par with Queen & Styx. The 1st 6 are on cd but the last isn't sadly.
Streets were totally underrated and should have been huge. They made 2 albums but they were vinyl only. Cd versions are boots. There is an official live cd of a King Biscuit show whicg is brilliant and fetures unreleased tracks too.
This should be easy to get.]]> Carl NoticeboardWed, 12 Jul 2000 22:11:55 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,3072,3075#msg-3075 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,3072,3075#msg-3075 John Q NoticeboardWed, 12 Jul 2000 17:25:30 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,3072,3074#msg-3074 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,3072,3074#msg-3074 RAINEvox NoticeboardWed, 12 Jul 2000 16:14:03 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,3072,3072#msg-3072 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,3072,3072#msg-3072
