<title>Diving For Pearls?</title>
<description> Just got this cd yesterday from ebay. I knew it was classed as a melodic rock masterpiece and god knows why i never got it before now.....but.... WOW!!! what an album!!! This is one of the best melodic rock albums i have ever heard!! This guy Danny Malone has (or had) a helluva voice!! I see this album joining my top MR collection beside TYKETTO DONT COME EASY, PAUL LAINE STICK IT IN YOUR EAR and MITCH MALLOY S/T. This will be spinning on my cd player till xmas! Need to hunt down that 2nd album ;-)</description><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920799,920799#msg-920799</link><lastBuildDate>Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:09:19 +1000</lastBuildDate>

A solo album is more likely I suppose.<br /><br />Texas is IMO a great album. 2-3 weaker songs, but enjoy most of it. And remember that it was released many many years after the classic debut, so it was just a natural thing to have different sounds and arrangements.]]></description>

Malone's voice is similar to Steve Augeri's, minus any balls. And some of the lyrics are awful. And I think Malone has some sort of lisp that annoys me.]]></description>

I rather doubt it...]]></description>
